Same day courier work in Birmingham runs between the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, the NEC and Birmingham Airport, and the industrial belt along the M6 and M42: stock from a Tyseley unit to a Bullring retailer, parts to a workshop in Aston, exhibition kit to the NEC, documents from Colmore Row to a client in Solihull.

The van is GPS tracked throughout and our two operators are on the phone 24 hours a day.
