Although our transport operation is based in the northwest of England, very close to Manchester Airport, and approximately 10 miles south of Manchester City centre, we have over our 30 years in the courier industry built up a huge network of reliable contacts throughout the whole of the UK.

This network of courier delivery businesses gives us the ability to source a range of different size vehicles from small and large vans, up to 7 ½ & 18-tonne trucks from almost anywhere in the mainland UK.

This enables us to provide both our existing customers, and any new clients with a courier service from not only the Manchester area but also to and from the UK’s two largest cities, Birmingham, and London.

Below is an example of how our network of courier contacts enables us to complete a collection and delivery from Birmingham to London.

Yesterday we received a call from a gentleman who was in a spot of bother.

He was actually due to fly out of Gatwick Airport for an important business trip to Chicago, USA, only to find that he’d forgotten something quite salient that's needed to fly…..his PASSPORT!!

He’d been searching the internet for same day delivery businesses that could visit his home address in Birmingham as soon as possible to collect it and take it down to Gatwick, London as quickly as they could.

He told us he'd typed the words ‘COURIER BIRMINGHAM TO LONDON’ into Google, it was that easy and luckily for him, and for us, our website appeared at number 1 on the Google search page on his phone, promoting our fast, secure, and reliable courier services.

He called us, explained his predicament, and asked if we’d be able to help.

According to the customer, when he called, he said the member of staff he spoke to was fantastic and explained in detail how we could assist. He said that speaking to them removed all the stress from the situation and gave him peace of mind that all was going to be resolved.

As soon as he’d placed his booking, we arranged for one of our contacts in a small courier van to head straight to his home address in Birmingham. The driver actually arrived within just 20 minutes of his initial call and once the driver had possession of the customer's passport the delivery to Gatwick Airport was immediately underway.

The driver was asked to keep in direct contact with the customer by phone throughout the journey to keep him updated on the vehicle's progress and to alert him of any delays encountered due to traffic on the motorways.

Also, as requested, our driver called the customer 30 minutes prior to arrival at Gatwick so they could arrange a suitable place to meet and hand over his passport.

Once delivery was complete, our driver told us the customer, whose passport it was, was literally nearly in tears because he was so relieved and couldn’t thank him enough.

We don’t know whether he made his flight or had to book an alternative one, but we carried out the collection and delivery from Birmingham to London to the letter.

Another job completed and once again, a very happy customer!!

If you or your business ever has the requirement for a delivery service from Birmingham to London, a courier from London to Birmingham, or even a courier service anywhere else in the mainland UK, don’t hesitate to get in touch for free no obligation quotes or more info on how we could help.
