Daventry coverage and response times
Our Daventry couriers serve the NN11 area, including the town centre, Drayton, Staverton and Long Buckby. Daventry's exceptional motorway access is one of its defining commercial characteristics: the M1 is reachable at Junction 16 in under 15 minutes, the M45 at Dunchurch is approximately 10 minutes east, and the A45 runs directly to Northampton in 20 minutes and Coventry in around 25. Rugby is approximately 15 minutes north via the A45. This central position means our Daventry fleet can reach Birmingham, Leicester, Milton Keynes and Coventry all within the hour under normal traffic.
Industries we move every day in Daventry
Daventry is one of the UK's most significant logistics and distribution hubs. The Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) at Crick — just minutes from the town — is one of Europe's largest rail-connected distribution parks, and many of the operators based there rely on us for urgent same day road movements that can't wait for a scheduled freight service.
