Canterbury coverage and response times

From the city centre and Wincheap to Sturry, Harbledown and the university campuses, we are usually with you in about half an hour. Whitstable and Herne Bay are 15–20 minutes away, Faversham around 20, and the A2/M2 corridor gives a clear direct run to the Medway towns, London and the national network, while the A28 and A299 link the coast.

Industries we move every day in Canterbury

With two universities and a major hospital, Canterbury keeps us busy with education deliveries, lab and medical consignments, and pharmacy transfers. We also handle heritage and tourism freight, agricultural and horticultural goods from the surrounding orchards, and urgent supplies for the city's retail and professional firms.
