Jerry Stewart, one of Eagle Couriers' directors, said: "When we took over QED, we knew that it was a deal that would help us cement our position as Scotland's leading independent courier firm. We inherited some of their major contracts with organisations such as the NHS and we were able to combine their 25-year experience in Edinburgh with our own operations.
"However, when we started looking closer at their company assets, we found that they had this 0845 number which they had never used. Their managing director had bought it in 2003 but it was never used as the main switchboard line, so it was just lying dormant when we discovered it.
"We already had plans to expand the business and create a new headquarters in Bathgate, so we decided to resurrect the number and use it as the main point of contact for all of our operations in Scotland.
"It's a nice bonus and means that we've got a shiny new hotline which we haven't had to pay a penny for. It also means that we can now say that organising a delivery is as easy as 1-2-3."
