M&H eases the burden of long-distance rower

[ May 27, 2025   //   ]

Scottish logistics firm, M&H Carriers, is sponsoring world champion rower, Heather Gordon as she prepares for a critical phase in her training for future international success.

A £500 donation from the company to the 24-year-old Inverness athlete will help cover the costs of upcoming high-performance testing, land-based endurance camps, and a water training camp in Spain, easing the financial burden of elite-level competition as she continues her journey towards Olympic selection for LA 2028.

Fraser MacLean, managing director at M&H Carriers, said: “Heather represents everything we admire – determination, discipline, and a passion for what she does. Her story is one of talent and tenacity, and we’re proud to be part of her journey as she works towards competing on the world’s biggest sporting stage.”

She specialises in beach sprint rowing, making her Team GB debut at the World Rowing Beach Sprint Championships in Italy towards the end of 2024 – coming home with a gold medal.

However, she still has to balance an intense training schedule with her work as a personal fitness and wellbeing coach – a testament to her determination both on and off the water.

“I really appreciate the support shown from Fraser and the team at M&H,” Heather Gordon said.

“As a full-time athlete training between 3-4 hours per day, as well as coaching at the rowing club, the additional funding enables me to focus on my training.

“Living and training in Inverness means I spend more time travelling than others, due to the distances I have to travel. I will often need additional days away to get to camps and competitions, which takes time and adds expense.”

M&H Carriers delivers parcels, freight, pallets and two-person products across the country, working with national carrier networks like DPD, DHL, DX, APC, UPS, Fedex and Pallet Track. It operates delivery hubs in Aberdeen, Inverness, Dundee, Argyll and Perth, along with satellite depots throughout Scotland.
