The Client 

 

The client is a well-known aquarium located in the UK, renowned for its diverse marine life and engaging exhibits. To maintain and enhance their collection, the client occasionally needs to transport live animals from various locations to their facility. Given the sensitive nature of these consignments, they require a logistics partner capable of ensuring the animals' safety and well-being throughout the journey. 

 

The Consignment 

 

Speedy Freight Newcastle has assisted the client on multiple occasions, providing specialised transport services for live animals. The most recent consignment involved collecting live sea horses, carefully packed in water-filled boxes and sealed within polystyrene protective containers. On a previous delivery, we transported live spiders for our client. Each consignment required special handling due to the fragile nature of the animals, who can be easily harmed during transit. 

 

The Solution 

 

To meet the client's needs, we provided a dedicated transport service designed to ensure the safe and timely transport of the live animals. 

Dedicated Service: Given the delicate nature of the consignments, a dedicated service was essential. Our dedicated same day delivery service ensured the animals were the journey's sole focus, eliminating the risk of delays or complications from other deliveries. Our drivers were thoroughly briefed on the specific requirements for transporting live animals, including the need for smooth handling and maintaining a stable environment throughout the journey. 

Specialised Handling: The live sea horses and spiders were packed in protective boxes designed to cushion them from any shocks or sudden movements. Our drivers took extra precautions to avoid any rough handling or abrupt stops that could cause harm. The journey was carefully planned to minimise transit time, reducing stress on the animals and ensuring they arrived in optimal condition. 

Timely and Efficient Delivery: Speed is a critical factor when transporting live animals, as prolonged transit times can increase the risk of harm. We ensured that each delivery was completed as quickly and efficiently as possible with our same day courier service, without compromising on the care required to keep the animals safe. 

Our work with the client highlights the importance of a specialised and dedicated logistics service when transporting live animals. By providing a tailored solution that prioritises the well-being of the animals, Speedy Freight Newcastle has helped the client safely expand their collection and continue to offer a diverse range of marine life to their visitors. The client’s trust in us for these sensitive deliveries reflects our commitment to precision and care in our logistics services.
