Same day courier work in Kent runs between the Dartford Crossing and the Medway towns, Maidstone and the M20, Ashford and the Channel Tunnel, Dover and the port, Canterbury and the Thanet coast, and the industrial estates at Crossways, Aylesford, Kings Hill and Orbital Park: stock from a Crossways warehouse to a Bluewater retailer, parts to a site at Medway City Estate, documents from Maidstone to a client in Canterbury, samples from Darent Valley or Medway Maritime to a lab, time-critical loads to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.
Every job is one dedicated van and one driver. The driver collects within 30 to 45 minutes of booking, because Kent is inside the area we cover from our Southgate base at the fastest collection times, 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.
