Get ahead in Edinburgh using fast, reliable parcel delivery services

Edinburgh is known the world over for its festivals, particularly for the international festival which usually takes place in late August and early September, and the fringe festival, which is dubbed by some the largest show on Earth'. Certainly in terms of the number of visitors who attend the twin events each year which is usually about 4.5million the Edinburgh Festival is vital to the city's economy.

But tourists come to Edinburgh all year round to sample its shopping and nightlife, and to see the magnificent museums and theatres which reflect the city's standing as the official capital of Scotland. The city is also the focus of Scotland's annual Hogmanay celebrations, which see an influx of hundreds of thousands of people wishing to celebrate the start of the new year. Pictures of the celebrations can be seen on television around the world, as one of the most enduring symbols of the transition from one year to the next.

All these celebrations are good for the city's businesses, but it is also strong in other sectors besides tourism, chiefly finance, banking and higher education. The city is the second most important financial centre in the UK after London, and has been the home of such prominent companies as the Bank of Scotland (now part of the Lloyds Banking Group), Royal Bank of Scotland, Scottish Widows and Standard Life for many years, while more recent arrivals have included Virgin Money and Tesco Bank. These companies' presence has helped make Edinburgh a more important centre of finance than many other major world cities, including Dubai, Washington and Amsterdam.

Edinburgh is served by Scotland's largest airport. Just under six miles west of the city centre, it is served by cargo flights from Germany, Greece, Ireland and Iceland, as well as other major regional airports in the UK. An expansion plan is in place to equip the airport for handling larger aircraft. The city is also the northern terminus of the A1 trunk road which runs all the way from London up the eastern side of England and Scotland, while it is linked to Glasgow by the M8 motorway, by far Scotland's busiest, which continues on to Paisley, where it accesses routes serving the south-west of the country.

These extensive transport links provide businesses and residents of Edinburgh with fast and reliable parcel delivery services, from the most densely populated parts of Scotland, and further afield, England and the rest of Europe. With such extensive services, there is little wonder that Edinburgh holds such a prominent place as a centre for business.
