Special Delivery
-
For clients who demand extra care and attention for their goods, we provide a fast and reliable means of delivery for your shipments across the UK and Europe. When time is running out, our delivery service is the ideal solution. Whether your goods are time sensitive, fragile or confidential, we will deliver them door to door in the shortest time possible.
We will collect your consignment and deliver it directly to your customer on the same vehicle. This ensures your consignment arrives on time and undamaged. It also means we can tell you exactly where it is at all times, giving you an added peace of mind.
We can also provide tail-lift vehicles, HIABs, and vans with loading ramps.

Dedicated Service

Every time a delivery is made with a dedicated vehicle, the customer is contacted to confirm that their delivery has been made. For most deliveries, a photo of the client’s signed delivery note (and photos of a delivered shipment if requested) are emailed to the client within minutes of a completed delivery.
All vehicles and contents are insured, and as a member of BIFA (the British International Freight Association), we trade under their terms and conditions.
We also work with numerous forwarding companies, hauliers and couriers on a completely neutral basis, providing competitive rates and an unbeatable service.
