Industry Courier Services for Every Sector
Our industry courier services put one van and one driver on your job, whether it’s a court bundle, a pathology box or a gearbox. A sector you work in has its own rules about who signs, which gate you use and what can’t be late. Tell us once, and the driver turns up already knowing them.
- Goods in transit cover to £10,000
- DBS-checked drivers
- No depots, no co-loading

Tell us what’s moving, where from and where to. A controller replies quickly, any hour of the day.
Which industries do you deliver for?
We run dedicated same-day vans for legal and financial firms, healthcare and NHS sites, automotive workshops, manufacturers, retailers, construction sites, printers and event organisers, plus plenty of businesses outside those eight. Each job gets its own vehicle and driver, collection is usually within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East, and the fixed quote already includes fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, across mainland UK.
Industry Courier Services by Sector
Our industry courier services cover eight sectors in depth, each with its own page on handover, paperwork and timing. Every job is fast, reliable, direct and fairly priced, and your consignment never shares the van with anyone else’s.
Legal and Financial
Bundles, deeds and signed completions handed to a named person before the filing cut-off.

Get a QuoteWhat Each Sector Needs at Handover
The driving is the easy part. What differs between sectors is what you hand over, who’s allowed to sign for it and what proof you need afterwards. Here’s what we plan for before the van leaves.
| Sector | What we usually carry | What the handover needs |
|---|---|---|
| Legal and financial | Court bundles, deeds, signed contracts, completion packs | A named recipient, a timed signature and proof you can show the court or client |
| Healthcare and NHS | Patient samples, prescriptions, records, clinical equipment | Sender-packed UN3373 boxes where needed, a set lab or ward contact, cold chain kept by your shipper |
| Automotive | VOR parts, gearboxes, panels, diagnostic tools | Delivery to the parts desk or a technician, with the part number checked at collection |
| Manufacturing | Line-down components, tooling, samples, spares | Goods-in booking slot, a site contact and PPE for the yard |
| Retail and eCommerce | Store restocks, customer orders, returns | Back-door delivery times and photo proof to forward to the buyer |
| Construction | Fixings, plant parts, small tools, drawings | Site induction, hard hat and hi-vis, and the right gate on a big site |
| Print and media | Proofs, artwork, finished print runs | Flat, dry loading and a deadline set by the client, not the printer |
| Events and exhibitions | Stand graphics, AV kit, literature, replacement parts | A venue delivery slot, a stand number and the organiser’s vehicle pass |
Industries We Serve
Time-critical freight, fragile equipment and high-value goods, moved with secure single handling: strapped, blanketed and loaded once. These six sectors book us most often.
Retail and eCommerce
Stock that has to be on a shelf or a doorstep before the customer gives up.
Healthcare and NHS
Specimens and supplies where an hour’s delay can mean a repeat test or a cancelled clinic.
Legal and Financial
Original documents with a deadline that won’t move and a signature that has to be right.
Manufacturing
Components worth a few pounds that are holding up a line worth thousands an hour.
Automotive
Parts for a vehicle off the road, from a single sensor to a boxed engine.
Construction
Materials and kit needed on site today, not after the trades have gone home.
How Our Industry Courier Services Keep You on Schedule
Late freight doesn’t cost the same in every trade. A missed filing can mean an adjournment and a wasted hearing. A part that arrives tomorrow leaves a fitter, a ramp and a customer’s car idle for a day, and a sample that misses the lab’s run may have to be taken again. There were 5.7 million private sector businesses in the UK at the start of 2025, and every one of them has a delivery somewhere that simply can’t be late.
Parcel networks keep prices low by sorting your box through hubs, so it’s typically handled four to six times before it arrives. In an Ofcom survey, 68% of people had a problem with a delivery in six months. Our van is loaded once and unloaded once. For original papers, our court bundles and deeds service keeps them in one driver’s hands, and a VOR parts run to workshops goes straight from supplier to bench.
Book, and a driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East. Further away, we dispatch the nearest vehicle and give you an honest ETA before you commit. You’ll hear from us at collection, en route and on arrival, then get photo or signature proof with a name and time. Need it moving right now? Our time-critical urgent runs start the moment you call, and someone answers at 3am.
We quote the smallest van that carries your load safely, from a small van at around 400kg to a Luton with a tail lift. The fixed price includes fuel, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares, with goods-in-transit cover to £10,000 per consignment and £1,000,000 public liability. Our guide to what transit cover includes explains the detail. Same run every week? Standing contract runs fix the slot and the rate in writing.
Site Rules, Inductions and Restricted Goods
Most delays at the far end have nothing to do with traffic. They happen at a gate, a goods-in window or a reception desk that wasn’t expecting anyone, so we sort those details at booking.
Inductions and PPE
Tell us if a site needs an induction, a hard hat, hi-vis or safety boots. The driver arrives wearing the right kit and allows time for the briefing, so they aren’t turned away at the cabin.
Gate Passes and Slots
Big plants, hospitals and exhibition halls often run booked delivery windows. Give us the slot and the reference, and we time the collection to arrive inside it rather than queue outside.
Named Recipients
If only one person may sign, we’ll hand it to that person and nobody else. Where they’re out, the controller rings you before deciding what to do with the consignment.
Patient Samples
Category B specimens travel as UN3373, and packing them is the sender’s job. Under the DfT packing guidance, the inner packaging must withstand 95 kPa without leaking, and a correctly packed box doesn’t need an ADR-trained driver.
Busy Construction Sites
UK construction output rose 1.8% in 2025, its fifth year of growth in a row, and busier sites mean tighter gates. Send us the site contact and the right entrance.
Goods We Won’t Carry
Some loads, such as dangerous goods above the small-quantity limits, need a specialist carrier with ADR-trained drivers. If yours does, we’ll tell you plainly on the first call rather than take the booking.
How It Works
Four steps from the first call to a signed delivery, with the price agreed before anything moves.
Get a Fixed Quote
Send both postcodes, what’s moving, roughly how big it is and when it must arrive. One all-inclusive price comes back quickly, so you can sign it off without waiting on anyone.
Book Your Delivery
Confirm by phone or online and add the site details: induction, gate, named recipient or booking slot. Written confirmation follows, so your team knows exactly what’s coming.
We Collect
A DBS-checked driver arrives, usually within the hour in London, checks the goods against your booking and straps them in. You get a text the moment it’s on board.
We Deliver Direct
No depot and no other customers’ stops. The driver hands over to the right person, and photo or signature proof with a name and time lands in your inbox.
Worried a Driver Won’t Know Your Site?
You won’t have to explain it twice. The site notes you give us stay on your booking, and the driver reads them before setting off, not when they reach the gate.
Fixed All-Inclusive Quote
One agreed price covering the driver, fuel, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares, so your purchase order matches the invoice.
Dedicated Vehicle
Your consignment is the only job in the van, so it never waits behind twenty drops on a shared round.
Photo and Signature POD
Every handover recorded with the recipient’s name and a timestamp, kept on file for audits and disputes.
24/7 Human Support
A real person answers at any hour, knows where your driver is and can change the drop if plans shift.
Van Sizes and Guide Prices for Business Freight
Your price comes from the van size, the distance and how urgent the job is. These are our published guide prices, and your exact figure is fixed in writing before the driver sets off.
| Vehicle | Guide price | Typical loads |
|---|---|---|
| Small van (around 400kg) | from £39 | Documents, sample boxes, a single part or a few cartons |
| SWB van (around 800kg) | from £49 | A store restock, tooling or a palletised delivery |
| LWB van (around 1,200kg, 4m loads) | from £69 | Exhaust systems, display stands, long lengths and larger stock moves |
| Luton with tail lift (around 1,000kg) | from £89 | Bulky kit and heavy items going to sites with no forklift |
Longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile depending on vehicle size, distance and urgency. Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost a little more, and that is inside the fixed quote. There’s no postcode or rural surcharge, so a quarry in Cumbria costs the same per mile as an office in Kent. Waiting time or an extra stop gets agreed and priced before it happens, never added to the invoice afterwards.
When a Parcel Network Is the Better Choice
We’d rather you choose the right service than the one we happen to sell. A whole van earns its cost when timing, value or a client relationship is on the line.
Small, Cheap, No Rush
A box of stationery due later in the week belongs on a network. Use us when a late arrival costs more than the delivery itself.
Hundreds of Light Parcels
Big daily volumes to scattered addresses suit a network account. We’re the backup when one of those parcels goes wrong.
Anything Irreplaceable
Original deeds, one-off samples and prototype parts shouldn’t pass through a sorting hall. That’s where one driver and one van make sense.
Sector Not Listed Here?
IT teams, facilities managers, labs, architects and caterers book us too. Describe the job and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What businesses in every sector ask before they hand us a job, answered straight.
What are industry courier services?
They’re courier services set up around how a particular sector works, rather than a standard parcel booking. For us, that means one dedicated van and driver per job, plus the handover rules your trade needs: a named recipient for legal papers, a lab contact for samples, an induction for a building site. Collection is usually within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East.
How much does a commercial courier service charge?
It depends on the van, the distance and how urgent the job is. Our guide prices start from £39 for a small van, £49 for an SWB, £69 for an LWB and £89 for a Luton, and longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile. Every quote is fixed in writing and includes fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares.
What insurance covers a business delivery with you?
Every job carries goods-in-transit cover up to £10,000 per consignment and £1,000,000 public liability. If your goods are worth more than £10,000, tell us the value at booking and we’ll arrange higher declared-value cover in writing before collection. Photo or signature proof of delivery is kept on file in case you ever need to make a claim.
Can you do commercial same day delivery outside London?
Yes, anywhere in mainland UK. We’re based in Croydon and usually collect within 30 to 60 minutes across London and the South East. Further away, we send the nearest available vehicle and confirm an honest ETA before you book. There’s no postcode or rural surcharge, and ferry fares to the islands are included in the quote.
Do you deliver for NHS sites and clinics?
Yes. We collect from GP practices, clinics, pharmacies, labs and hospital departments and drive straight to the named contact. Patient samples must be packed by the sender to UN3373 standard, and once they are, the driver doesn’t need ADR training. If your samples must stay chilled, use your own validated shipper, and we’ll keep the journey short and direct.
Will your driver follow our site induction and access rules?
Yes. Tell us about inductions, PPE, gate passes, delivery slots or named-recipient rules when you book. They go on the job notes, and the driver reads them before setting off. If a site changes its rules on the day, ring the controller and we’ll pass the update straight to the driver.
