A Perth trucking business boss has blasted rising fuel prices making it tougher for him to turn a profit at a time when the effect of Brexit is still taking its toll.
George McLaughlan, managing director of McLaughlan Transport, hit out as prices at the pump for petrol in Perth reached as much as 191.9 pence per litre at some filling stations while near Kinross some stations were charging up to 194.9p per litre
Mr McLaughlan blamed the crisis in Ukraine and the behaviour of multi-nationals as well as the actions of particular politicians for creating a situation where his profit margin is being squeezed even harder under already precarious circumstances.
