UK & European Courier Transport

The company was set up as a same day express courier and that DNA is still there, which is why a call at four on a Friday afternoon does not get an answer about Monday morning. The phone is answered 365 days a year. A special is a dedicated run for one customer, driven straight through, and it is what you fall back on when a pallet network has lost a crate, a go-live is at risk, or a part has to be at a site in Milan before the engineers arrive. We can put highly specialised support anywhere in Europe within 24 to 48 hours after the word go.

Since 21 May 2022 any transport company or courier using vans, cars and trailers over 2.5 tonnes to carry goods for hire or reward in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland has needed a standard international goods vehicle operator licence. We hold one, covering 3 HGVs and 12 light goods vehicles with 4 UK Licences for the Community. Vehicles are Euro 6, maintained in line with DVSA rules and regulations, plain and unsignwritten, with Thatcham approved deadlocks and remote engine immobilisation on the ones that need it. Ask and we will send the details.

Goods in transit is a separate all risks policy of £2,600 for any one event per vehicle with AXA Insurance UK plc, which sits above the £1,300 per tonne that the standard conditions of carriage in our industry provide. For a consignment worth more than that we can arrange bespoke marine cargo cover, and because of our claims record we can quote up to £0.5m without going back to the underwriters, subject to terms and an additional premium. Above £0.5m is usually obtainable, but we would rather have a conversation first about how much risk you want sitting in one vehicle.
