By having its mechanical engineering functions managed by a national business unit, the Forestry Commission ensures that it gets an efficient and cost-effective service. The success of the MES Business Unit is based on the specialist skills and experience of the staff, substantial purchasing power, arising from the large scale of its operations and the focus it has on service delivery. Stirling Office is situated in the modern Castle Business Park, which has convenient road and rail links and is in a beautiful setting in the shadow of the ancient Stirling Castle. Head of MES and the Fleet Engineer are both situated within the Stirling office.

They are able to provide general advice to service providers, other Government Departments, the private forestry sector or individuals on the subjects listed above. They are also responsible for the information on the Mechanical Engineering Services web site.
