Proud supporters of our local primary school fun nights

Ferguson Transport & Shipping enjoyed once again attending the Fun Nights hosted by Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, Banavie, and Spean Bridge Primary School this year.

We had the pleasure of placing one of our Volvo FH trucks at the events, giving families the opportunity to explore. It was wonderful to see the community spirit at the events and support children and parents to discover more about our trucks. We hope this experience has sparked an interest in the next generation and inspired some future HGV drivers!

MV Carly Delivers 70 Tonne Liebherr LH60 to Isle of Mull

MV Carly, one of our versatile landing craft vessels, recently completed a successful operation delivering a 70-tonne Liebherr LH60 from Corpach to the Isle of Mull.

The move was necessary due to ferry transportation being unfeasible. Thanks to the unique capabilities of MV Carly and the expertise of our crew and marine team, the heavy-duty equipment was safely delivered to its destination.

This operation highlights the important role our landing craft play in servicing remote and island locations, where conventional transport methods are unsuitable.

A big thank you to everyone involved for their hard work in ensuring another complex job was completed to the highest standards! Another Job well done!

Bailliemore Cup line up

Proud sponsors of 2025 Camanachd Association Balliemore Cup

Alasdair Ferguson, Group Managing Director said, “Once again we are delighted to sponsor the magnificent Balliemore Cup, which is 150 years old this year with 2025 also marking 40 years of it being competed for in its current format.
 
There will be two new teams in the draw this year in Lochaber and Glenurquhart, adding to the quality of the teams already there. As shinty people know, the Balliemore is the intermediate level cup and one that I know every team will be keen to get their hands on. The final will be played at Spean Bridge, our company’s home village, on the 26th of July, and will be an exciting day in the shinty calendar.
 
From all of our directors and employees, we wish all the teams and players taking part the very best of luck and hope that our national sport, shinty, continues to shine through. For every spectator paying at the gate or online to watch the final live, we at Ferguson Transport & Shipping will donate £2 per head to local MacMillan Cancer Support, who do a wonderful job, and in everyone’s lifetime there is no doubt this amazing organisation will assist you or your family when needed most.”
 
Good luck to all the teams and players competing!
