Obituary: Magnus Slater

The haulage community came together to remember Magnus Slater, founder of Scottish distribution firm M&H Carriers, following a memorial held in Aberdeen last week.

He passed away unexpectedly in July from a sudden heart attack aged 67.

He was described as a ‘well respected leader in the parcel business in Scotland’, a ‘true one-off character’, and a ‘legend’ by his industry peers in touching tributes on social media.

Fraser MacLean, managing director of M&H Carriers, said: “This is an incredibly sad day for all the people that have worked with Magnus over the years. He was a true one-off, and anyone who dealt with him will be able to vouch for that. Our thoughts are with all of Magnus’ family at this time.”
