Same day courier work in Leicester runs between the city centre, the textile and food units around Belgrave and Frog Island, the business parks at Meridian and Grove Park, and the warehouses along the M1 and M69 at Magna Park and Lutterworth: stock from a Belgrave unit to a Highcross retailer, parts to a site at Enderby, samples from the Royal Infirmary to a lab, documents from Friar Lane to a client in Oadby.
Every job is one dedicated van and one driver. The driver collects within 45 minutes to an hour of booking, often faster, checks the load, drives direct to the delivery address and hands over with a signature and a photo, texted to you as proof of delivery. The van is GPS tracked throughout and our two operators are on the phone 24 hours a day.
