Multi Drop Deliveries of Construction Materials: A Case Study
Speedy Freight is a dedicated UK and Europe same day courier that offers multi-drop delivery. As a dedicated service, that means we’ll only load your consignments onto our delivery vehicle. That means that whether you have one delivery or multiple, you know that the only stops on the way will be yours. Discover how we handled the last-minute multi-drop delivery needs of a company in the construction sector.

The Client

Our client is a specialist rental company servicing the construction industry. They specialise in providing temporary formwork and falsework rentals for concrete construction. As a key supplier of these materials, they work with businesses across the UK in the construction sector.

As a highly specialised company dealing with rentals of large and heavy goods to construction sites across the UK, their delivery needs are quite unique, and the locations for delivery vary greatly.

Our client contacts our Speedy Freight Romford team with urgent last-minute delivery needs to deliver construction materials to building sites.

As an express and same day Romford courier with significant experience in the construction industry, they seek out our expertise to help manage unforeseen delivery needs that require a quick, efficient, and reliable courier service.

The Consignment

We deliver a range of building materials for them. On our busiest days, they book multi-drop deliveries to up to five different locations. Some of the items we deliver include steel and aluminium falsework, panel falsework, bespoke wall formwork, and façade retentions & shoring.

While most jobs require vans of various sizes, the larger consignments need trucks up to 18 tonnes due to the size and weight of the materials.

The Solution

Our client first contacts us with a same day delivery request. While they operate their own fleet and often deliver directly to their customers’ sites, running their own fleet proves too expensive, and they waste resources driving back empty.

While Speedy Freight offers end-to-end business logistics, we also support businesses with extra logistics needs, offering services from express courier deliveries to driver cover.

With Speedy Freight, you only pay one way, so we offer a cost-effective solution that helps them save valuable time and money.

Their limited access to vehicles and challenges managing last-minute requests lead them to rely on Speedy Freight’s same day courier service. We receive many requests, including last-minute specialist vehicle needs and pick-ups or drop-offs in very remote, hard-to-access areas.

Our Speedy Freight Romford team quickly discusses their needs, books the right vehicle for the job, and gets on the road. We always aim to pick up consignments within 60 minutes of booking, a key factor in delivering on time.

The Results

Our client has expressed appreciation for our fast response, ‘can-do’ attitude, and our ability to say yes to every delivery request they bring us.

Whether for advanced planning or last-minute multi-drop same day deliveries, we promptly provide the vehicles they need, sometimes sending more than one delivery vehicle per job.

When faced with issues or emergency requests, we propose swift transport solutions tailored to their unique business needs.

What begins as an inquiry into how Speedy Freight can help with an urgent same day delivery quickly develops into ongoing support for their delivery requirements beyond what their own resources can cover.
