The Client 

 

Our client specialises in the manufacturing of sustainable products for fresh, frozen, and ambient food. They offer a range of recyclable packaging to clients across the UK from bakeries to supermarkets and pet food manufacturers.   

They required a reliable courier service to deliver their sustainable food packaging products to retailers across the UK. With a focus on efficiency and precision, they sought a partner capable of handling time-sensitive deliveries while maintaining a high level of service.  

 

The Consignment 

 

Our client contacted our Speedy Freight Northamptonshire branch to deliver their extensive range of products using our same day food manufacturing courier service 

The consignment consisted of food packaging products manufactured at various production plants nationwide. These products included a range of packaging materials, such as resealable packaging, bags, pouches, and films, used by major UK food manufacturers to package their products. 

The client required daily deliveries to their retail partners to ensure product availability and meet demanding schedules. 

 

The Challenges 

 

Timeliness was critical for the client to maintain smooth operations and meet the expectations of their retail partners. Any delays in delivery could impact stock availability, production schedules, and customer satisfaction. 

The consignment included items of different sizes and quantities, necessitating a versatile fleet that could accommodate a range of vehicles that could easily adapt to our client’s needs. 

Speedy Freight offered a diverse fleet of over 4,000, ranging from SWBs to articulated lorries, to accommodate the varying sizes and quantities of the client's consignments. This allowed for cost-effective delivery solutions tailored to each specific requirement. 

We developed a strong working relationship with the client, enabling effective communication and prompt response times. The client provided daily production forecasts, allowing Speedy Freight to pre-plan routes and secure the necessary vehicles in advance. 

Speedy Freight's same day delivery service ensured that the client's products reached their manufacturing and retail partners on time, maintaining supply chain integrity and keeping their customers happy. The client had peace of mind knowing that their consignments would be delivered promptly and reliably. 

 

The Conclusion 

 

Speedy Freight's same day food manufacturing courier service consistently proved to be a reliable and efficient solution for delivering the client's food packaging products to food manufacturing businesses across the UK.  

By utilising a diverse fleet, Speedy Freight accommodated the varying sizes and quantities of the consignments with ease, regularly using Lutons, 7.5T, 18T and articulated lorries for their delivery jobs. 

Our strong working relationship with our client developed as a result of completing deliveries of various consignments and volumes on a range of vehicles. We now perform daily runs for our client on vehicles ranging from SWBs to articulated lorries, meeting their evolving needs efficiently and delivering to locations all across the UK.  

As they know a day in advance how their production is looking, we pre-plan routes and get them all booked in the day before for them. We now complete 95% of their volume, and our client has expressed satisfaction with our service by leaving us a 5-star review on Trustpilot.
