The Client
The client provides a comprehensive range of analytical services to industries such as environmental, construction, waste, fuel, and engineering. Their work involves handling and testing various environmental samples, including soil and water. Given the nature of their operations, they require a reliable logistics partner to manage the timely and secure transport of these samples.
The Consignment
The client’s consignments primarily consist of soil and water sample test boxes. These samples are crucial for analysis, and their integrity must be preserved throughout transit. The client needs a dependable logistics solution to handle multi-collection runs from various locations, ensuring that samples are transported securely and efficiently.
The Solution
To meet the client's needs, Speedy Freight Newcastle developed a specialised logistics service tailored to their requirements.
Dedicated Multi-Collection Runs: We handle regular collections from Ireland twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. After collecting the samples, our drivers transport them overnight via ferry to the UK. Given the security protocols at the client’s site, we use the same drivers for these runs. They are thoroughly trained on how to access and secure the site, ensuring that the samples are delivered safely, even when no staff is present to receive them.
Trusted Drivers: Security and reliability are paramount for these operations. By using the same trusted drivers, we ensure that all security procedures are followed correctly. Our drivers are familiar with the specific requirements of accessing and locking the site, reducing any potential risks associated with the delivery process.
Specialist Vehicles: For these runs, we employ Long Wheelbase (LWB) vehicles to accommodate the volume of sample boxes and ensure secure transport. Our fleet is equipped to handle the sensitive nature of these consignments, maintaining their condition throughout the journey.
European and Domestic Collections: In addition to the regular Ireland collections, we frequently handle multi-collections from Scotland and the Birmingham areas. Recently, we also managed European transport jobs, returning empty sample boxes to the Republic of Ireland. For these European shipments, we provide a full customs clearance service, including all necessary paperwork, ensuring compliance with customs regulations.
Flexible Booking and Efficient Operations: The client typically books our services the day before the job is to commence. We accommodate these last-minute bookings efficiently, ensuring that all collections and deliveries are executed as planned.
Speedy Freight Newcastle’s dedicated logistics service has effectively addressed the client’s needs for transporting environmental samples. Our specialised handling, trusted drivers, and flexible operations ensure that soil and water samples are collected and delivered securely and on time.
