Dorchester coverage and response times

The county town of Dorset, Dorchester sits inland from the Jurassic Coast on the River Frome. We can usually collect around the town centre, Poundbury and the Grove and Marabout industrial estates within 25 to 30 minutes, and reach Weymouth, Bridport, Blandford or Poole inside the hour. The A35 runs east toward Poole, Bournemouth and the M27, while the A37 heads north toward Yeovil and the A303 — important links for a town set away from the motorway network.

Industries we move every day in Dorchester

The local economy combines agriculture and food production with manufacturing, brewing heritage, healthcare and a base of professional and public-sector employers. We frequently carry food and agricultural items, engineering and brewing supplies, medical and laboratory consignments and urgent documents for businesses across DT1 and West Dorset.
