We serve the town centre and Old Town (BN21), Meads and Beachy Head area (BN20), Langney and Hampden Park (BN22), and the Sovereign Harbour and Pevensey Bay area (BN23). We also cover Polegate, Hailsham, Pevensey, and Seaford. From Eastbourne, direct drives reach Gatwick Airport in approximately 55–65 minutes via the A22, Brighton in around 35–40 minutes, and London in around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours via the A22 and M23.

Industries we move every day in Eastbourne

Eastbourne's economy is built around tourism, retail, healthcare, and professional services. We regularly carry medical and pharmaceutical supplies for the hospitals and healthcare providers in the area, time-critical documents and samples for the legal and financial services sector, and promotional materials for the town's events and hospitality industry. The Sovereign Harbour business community and the industrial units on the Eastbourne Levels also generate regular freight requirements for engineering and distribution businesses.
