GPS-tracked, security sealed vehicles with trained crews for high-value IT, scientific, medical, and Pro AV assets.


We have been moving computers since 1996, in our own plain vans and lorries, on our own Standard International Goods Vehicle Operators Licence. Payloads run from 900kg in a Renault Trafic that will still get into an underground car park with a 2.0 metre height restriction, all the way up to 7000kg in the 18t DAF with its 2.5t cantilever tail lift. Nothing is subcontracted. Everything travels on air ride suspension, strapped to E-track at three levels with padded rails and shoring poles.



We have carried event kit into ExCel, The O2, Alexandra Palace, the Tower of London and a good number of fields and castles in between, and we still criss-cross Europe at a moment's notice for the ones that come up late. Vehicles run from Renault Trafics up to an 18 tonne DAF with a 2.5 tonne cantilever tail lift, all with air ride, load lok, shoring poles and blankets. Drivers work rather than watch. Import and export customs, including ATA Carnets, is handled in house.



Pro audio and AV transport since 1996, for sound engineers, production and tour managers and the bands themselves. We have traversed most of the mountain ranges and sailed most of the ferry routes, from a backline delivery to the bottom of a ski slope in Davos for MTV Winterjam to an urgent mixing desk swap out in Belfort for the Eurockéennes festival. Air ride vehicles, load lok and E-track at three levels, aluminium ramps or tail lifts. We sort the carnets in house.



Secure transport, for us, means the vehicle, the driver and the handling kit all belong to Secure Transportation, so there is nobody in the chain we have not trained and nobody we cannot get hold of at two in the morning. Vehicles are plain and unsignwritten, fitted with Thatcham approved deadlocks and remote engine immobilisation, and tracked to street level anywhere in Europe. Much of our work sits under mutual NDAs. ISO 9001:2015 accredited, RHA members, registration number 012412.



This is what the business was set up to do in 1996, a same day express courier service, and we still criss-cross the UK and Europe at a moment's notice for the jobs the trade calls a special. It is what you want when an overnight pallet or parcel service is quite simply not good enough. One vehicle, your goods only. Tracked to street level anywhere in Europe, with live tracking to your desktop or phone. Support anywhere in Europe within 24 to 48 hours after the word go.



UK transport coverage runs out of two bases, one at London Heathrow at the heart of the UK colocation datacentre industry and the other near Farnborough Airport about 30 minutes away, which puts most of the country inside a straightforward day's drive. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and vehicles are tracked to street level. The M25 corridor is our back garden. Everything north of that is a day out and we plan it as one.

Vehicles are plain, unbranded and fitted with Thatcham approved deadlocks, some with remote engine immobilisation, and they are tracked down to street level anywhere in Europe with the live feed available to your desktop or phone for the whole journey. Loads travel under tamper evident seals with the numbers logged against the asset list, driven by our own DBS checked and security vetted people rather than an agency driver. Goods in transit cover is £2,600 per vehicle on an all risks basis with AXA, against an industry standard of £1,300 per tonne, and public liability is no less than £2 million. Higher value loads can be quoted on marine cargo to £0.5m without an underwriter referral. Two person crews where the item needs them.
In-house, which is the main difference between us and a haulier who hands you to a broker and hopes. Our own customs agent does the entries once we have your commercial invoice and a Power of Attorney signed by a company official. If you hold a business entity in France, goods can be pre-cleared there under one of the EU VAT regimes and then delivered straight on anywhere in the EU, and that is much the quickest route. Otherwise it is a T1 transit, where we collect the document at the UK office of departure, drive to the destination office and present the goods there, and that can take an hour or the whole day. Get the invoice to us early.
Yes, that is where the business started in 1996 and it is still what we are best known for. Dedicated means your consignment is the only thing on the vehicle, so nothing gets tipped out at a hub overnight and nothing waits for a trailer to fill. The trade calls it a special. An overnight pallet or parcel service is quite simply not good enough for some things, and this is what you use instead. Vehicles run from a Renault Trafic that will get into a car park with a 2.0m height restriction up to an 18t DAF with a 2.5t cantilever tail lift, so you pay for what the job needs rather than for an artic to shift four cases. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
