Originally a major part of the Scottish county of Midlothian, Edinburgh is located on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Recognised as the capital of Scotland since the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seventh most populous city in the whole of the UK. On top of that, this city has the strongest economy of any city outside of London. So, as we all welcome a new commercial phase as the Covid-19 crisis begins to wane, businesses can get back to trading normally. Hence, there will no doubt be a great demand for couriers in Edinburgh.
New demands for couriers in Edinburgh
May 17th has been set as the date when the major lockdown safety restrictions are relaxed to allow social functioning, living and trading can return. Already, the doors to High Street shops and businesses have been opened across the UK and businesses are enjoying the new demands which come with the new normal. But the epidemic has changed the way customers are buying.
Buying online
Buying from the web has been around of course for many years, but has never really been the main vehicle for trading. When the epidemic was at its peak and physical shops were unavailable, people were forced into getting supplies online. Customers have found a great convenience when buying – and sometimes cheaper products – and businesses have sometimes found a reduction in overheads. The knock-on effect has been online buying is more in demand and promoted more by all organisations. In order to allow that demand to be met there is a greater need for couriers in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh was named the Best Large City of the Future for Foreign Direct Investment in the Financial Times magazine awards. The main industries in Edinburgh today are financial services, scientific research, higher education and tourism. As far as tourism goes – Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the UK next to London. Attractions include Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyrood House.
The finance sector and couriers in Edinburgh
The finance sector first became central to Edinburgh as early as the 17th century when the Bank of Scotland was first established. This is now strengthened by the insurance and investment sectors and in recent times (circa 2005) the NatWest group founded its headquarters in the city. Also, the city is also home to the TSB bank, Sainsbury’s bank and Tesco bank.
