The Client
A UK-based manufacturing and installation business, focused on sustainable infrastructure solutions, was scaling rapidly. With a growing client base and multiple active construction projects, operational complexity had increased and logistics was a growing pain point.
While the internal team was highly capable, they were stretched. Managing time-sensitive deliveries was taking attention away from higher-value work. Subcontractors and scheduled couriers couldn’t keep up with the flexibility and reliability required on last-minute jobs.
The business didn’t want rigid contracts or faceless providers. They needed a logistics partner who could respond quickly, deliver consistently, and align with the company’s sustainability goals all while protecting client service standards.
The Consignment
One key job involved a bespoke set of components required for an early morning installation at a flagship commercial site in Leeds. The delivery needed to arrive between 5:30am and 6:00am to align with site access times and ensure the install crew could start on schedule.
Delays weren’t an option. If the goods missed their window, the site would reject the delivery, install work would be pushed back, and the business would face reputational and financial penalties.
Requirements included:
- Driver briefed on site-specific access protocols and safety procedures
- Reliable, timestamped delivery and real-time updates
- Zero disruption to the production or installation schedule
The Solution
At 3:30pm the day before delivery, Speedy Freight was contacted. Within 15 minutes, the booking was confirmed. By 6:30pm, a dedicated local driver was on-site collecting the consignment, briefed and ready for the early-morning drop.
The goods arrived at the Leeds site at 5:45am, were signed off by the site supervisor, and the install began as scheduled.
Key factors behind the successful delivery:
- Rapid Response, 24/7: Our out-of-hours availability meant the client didn’t need to scramble for solutions or stretch internal resources.
- Dedicated Vehicle, Direct Route: No co-loading, no detours. One consignment, one vehicle, guaranteed secure arrival.
- No Contracts, No Minimums: No long-term commitment required. Support was immediate, frictionless, and cost-effective.
- Consistent Service: Familiar driver and coordinator provided continuity and built trust from the first job.
- Centralised Visibility: PODs and delivery documentation were automatically stored and shared, supporting easy cost-tracking and operational visibility.
- Sustainability-Aligned Approach: Local teams and fleet cut empty miles and wasted trips, lowering emissions on every job. We’re also certified by Carbon Neutral Britain.
