Wernick Hire opens new Inverness depot

An event on May 20th brought together colleagues, customers, suppliers and local stakeholders to mark a significant milestone in Wernick’s continued growth across Scotland.

The new facility, representing an investment of over £3.5 million, provides staff with a modern, purpose-built working environment from which to service clients across the Highlands and surrounding region.

The opening forms part of a broader £25m investment Wernick has made in Scotland over the past five years, spanning freehold facilities and hire fleet buildings across its depots in Glasgow, Lochgelly, Dundee and now Inverness.

The official ribbon-cutting was performed by Councillor Glynis Sinclair, provost of Inverness & Area, alongside David Wernick, executive chairman of Wernick Group.

The ceremony was attended by a strong turnout of customers and suppliers from the region, reflecting the relationships Wernick Hire has built across Scotland, where it has established itself as one of the largest providers of modular buildings and cabins north of the border, under the leadership of Ricky Wedlock, operations director.

David Wernick said: “I wish Angela and her team every success in their new home. I would also like to thank Leanne Knowles, Group Estate Director and John Heron, site manager for all their hard work in ensuring that the building of the new depot was carried out in a time scale and finished to a quality that we are all proud of.”
