When something has to get from London to Birmingham today, waiting on a depot-based network isn't an option.
The London–Birmingham run links the capital with the heart of the West Midlands, its automotive supply chain and the NEC. We assign one dedicated driver who collects within the hour and drives the consignment straight up the M40 — around 125 miles, typically around 2.5 hours — with no depots, no overnight sorting and full tracking door to door.
Birmingham to London Courier
The route runs both ways, and a good share of the work on it is southbound — businesses in Birmingham sending into London against a deadline. We collect in Birmingham within the hour and drive direct to London the same way: one driver, the M40 in reverse, roughly 125 miles and typically around 2.5 hours, with no depot stop and nothing else on the vehicle.
Southbound runs have their own timing question, which is the arrival rather than the departure — a consignment landing in central London at 5pm is a very different job from one landing at 11am. Tell us the deadline at the London end and we plan the Birmingham collection back from it. Our vehicles are ULEZ- and Congestion-Charge-compliant, so wherever the delivery address sits in the city, the driver reaches it without a surcharge or a detour.
Going the other way, a London collection heads out on the M40 the moment it's loaded — same driver, same direct run, no sorting hub in between.
