In Aberdeenshire and parts of the Highlands, temperatures fell, creating icy road conditions, and several inches of snow closed roads and cut off communities.
John O’Neil, Filshill’s senior operations manager outbound, said: “Our drivers delivering across Aberdeenshire deserve huge praise for their resilience, attitude and determination.
“In some cases, drivers have had to be pulled out from deep snow while attempting deliveries – yet they continued to do everything possible to ensure vital supplies reached communities, including those in areas declared a major incident.”
