Can a same day courier collect from Royston?

From SG8 a van reaches Cambridge in roughly 25 minutes and the Stansted cargo sheds in about 35, with London some 75 minutes south. The quote is fixed.
Where the Catalytic Converter Went Into Production
Royston looks like a quiet market town on the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire border. It also has an unusual place in industrial history. According to trade publication Truck and Bus Builder, Johnson Matthey estimates it has made more than 1.3 billion catalysts since the world’s first commercial autocatalyst came off the line at Royston in 1974.
A site like that anchors a local supply chain of engineers, chemists, test labs and specialist suppliers, much of it linked to the research cluster around Cambridge. Samples, sensors, test pieces and replacement parts all move between Royston, the science parks to the north and customers across the country. A courier in Royston that can take a sealed box straight to a lab in Cambridge or an engine test cell in the Midlands, with nobody else handling it, fits that pattern well.
On the Edge of Two Counties
Royston sits where the A505 crosses the A10. Head east on the A505 and you reach the M11 at Duxford, the quickest way to Stansted and Essex. Head west and you reach the A1(M) at Baldock. The A10 runs north into Cambridge and south to Buntingford, Ware and London. For a small town, it has very good reach, and our drivers use whichever route is quickest on the day.

Royston Courier FAQs
Can you take test samples from Royston to a Cambridge science park the same morning?
Yes. The drive is roughly 25 minutes. The samples go in a van on their own and are signed for at the lab.
Which way does a Royston courier go to reach London?
Usually the A10 south to the M25, or the A505 to the A1(M) for west London. We pick the faster route on the day.
Do you cover Melbourn, Bassingbourn and the villages north of Royston?
Yes, and there is no charge for rural addresses. The price reflects the vehicle and the distance.
Can I send a component from Royston to the Midlands overnight?
Yes. We run through the night, and overnight work costs slightly more than a weekday daytime job. The fixed quote includes that.
Can you collect from sites with strict visitor rules?
Yes. Send the site’s visitor procedure with the booking, and the driver will stick to it and wait for the item to be brought out if required.
