Same day courier work in Cambridge runs between the city centre and the colleges, the Biomedical Campus and Addenbrooke’s, the Science Park and St John’s Innovation Centre on Milton Road, the business parks at Cambourne and Granta Park, and the M11: samples from Addenbrooke’s or Granta Park to a lab, equipment to a unit on the Science Park, documents from a college to a client in London, stock from a Milton unit to a shop in the city.
