Absolutely About us

We have a proud history that stretches back to George Thompson, the St Pancras station master, who set up shop as a freight agent for the railway companies back in 1865. We have now expanded our business across 3 core locations - Central London, Park Royal and Heathrow. We know what can be at stake when you book a courier. Luckily, there are very few situations we haven’t faced, hurdles we haven’t overcome, or solutions we couldn’t find. Whether it’s the contract to meet this morning’s deadline, the outfit for tomorrow’s fashion shoot, or simply the need to make a good impression every day, our experienced team are trusted to deliver by over 5000 customers per year – time and again. We are an extension of our clients’ businesses and we never take what we do lightly. When it really matters, we care more – and know more – than most. Are we there when it matters? Absolutely.

Been there, delivered that since 1865

We’re not always delivering court papers or priceless objects. But a parcel, or a package, is never just a parcel or a package: there’s always a relationship, a reputation, a bigger opportunity, or someone’s blood pressure at stake.

We are trusted to deliver when it matters because we show our customers day in and day out, just how precious every one of their bookings is to us and how passionate we are about our business. Our riders and drivers are more than just beacons on a map: they’re integral to everything we do.

Trusted to deliver when it matters

With over 150 years’ experience, we know how to deliver for you.

We are part of the owner-operated APC network which is the UK’s largest independent delivery network, with more than 110 locations nationwide. The APC network is unique in its approach and is not just set up to take standard parcels like many other Overnight carriers. Our operation is more robust and has the ability to carry more delicate items such as wines, spirits, perishables and glass, all with a more flexible timed delivery offering.

Our timed delivery options are:

• Weekday before 9am• Weekday before 10am• Weekday before 12 noon• Weekday before 16.00• Saturday before 9am, 10am or 12 noon

We also offer a 2 hour ‘Expect’ window service which allows either a text, or email, to be sent to you, or your customers, advising when to expect delivery of the item.

Overnight Courier Services

Our Overnight Courier Services stretch to a range of specialist services, which are ideal for transporting high-value, delicate and fragile items that need that extra bit of care and attention. We can provide the following services:

• Overnight Security Service• Overnight Fragile Service• Overnight Liquid Service

From the moment we collect your shipment, we clearly identify each item by its given state. So if an item is fragile, or liquid, the correct label will be added during the handling process to ensure everyone involved is aware of its condition. Items are then isolated into dedicated hand sort sections where they are carefully handled and monitored to guarantee the highest security. Certain items are kept away from each other to reduce the chance of damage.

“Ordered many times with them - always a super smooth and efficient service. Highly

recommend!”Holly

Delivering the information to succeed in business Our business relies on information — whether it’s clients ordering the right size vehicle for collection, or our teams knowing the business well enough to know when a delivery address we’ve been given is out of date. We go the extra mile to keep people informed along every step of the journey; and if things don’t go as planned we don’t place blame or make excuses — we simply focus on getting things back on track.

Account holders have access to:

• Online booking platform• Text messaging updates• POD confirmation emails• Full GPS tracking• Traffic alerts • ETA• Telephony recall

Continuously building relationships for a sustainable future When you’ve been around for as long as us, you feel the need to make a difference in everything you do. Whether it’s within the lives of our colleagues, our relationship with clients or the environment we operate in, we want to leave our footprint wherever we go.

Protecting our environment

We mainly operate within central London, so we completely understand the impact of rising carbon emissions on our streets. We’ve been busy doing our bit to help improve this situation by investing in an eco-friendly fleet of electric cargo bikes. With zero emissions, they are the ideal solution for delivering items in the cleanest and most efficient way across London.

Our electric cargo bikes are also ULEZ compliant, which means we can continue providing excellent service, but without giving you the hassle of worrying about late journey times or incurring additional costs. We are proud to be driving a more sustainable future, and by doing so, we can encourage a safer and healthier environment for all.

Giving you our very best

When you come on board with us, we don’t see you as just another business relationship. Instead you are recognised as a close partner of ours.
