Can a same day courier collect in Hatfield?
Yes. We collect across AL9 and AL10, including the business park and both university campuses, usually within the hour. The van then heads straight to the delivery address. Central London is about 50 minutes away, Heathrow around 40 and Cambridge roughly 50. We give you one fixed price first.
From Runway to Business Park
For most of the twentieth century, Hatfield built aircraft. The de Havilland company flew from the aerodrome here, and the Comet airliner was designed and tested on the site. Aircraft production ended in the early 1990s and the runway was taken up. What replaced it is one of the largest business parks in Hertfordshire, alongside new housing and the University of Hertfordshire’s de Havilland campus.
The companies that settled on the old airfield are a good guide to the delivery work. Computacenter lists its UK and group headquarters on Hatfield Business Park, off Hatfield Avenue. IT services, logistics and head office functions of that kind generate a steady flow of urgent hardware, replacement parts and signed documents, usually heading down the A1(M) or round the M25 to a client who needs them today.
Two Junctions, One Short Hop to the M25
Hatfield sits between junctions 3 and 4 of the A1(M), with the motorway running in a tunnel beneath the town centre. Junction 1 and the M25 are only a few minutes south. That makes a courier in Hatfield quick to reach almost anywhere in the South East: the City, Heathrow, Stansted, Cambridge and the Midlands are all straightforward drives.

Bigger Loads From the Business Park
Racks of IT equipment, boxed stock and display units often travel on pallets. We send a long wheelbase van for a single pallet and a tail-lift Luton when there is more, and our pallet delivery page explains what to prepare. For fragile screens and servers, see our fragile courier service. The county-wide picture is on our Hertfordshire page.
