Helston coverage and response times

Helston is the last town before the Lizard Peninsula, with RNAS Culdrose right on its edge — handy for naval and aviation work. We typically collect in the town, Porthleven and Wendron within 20–30 minutes, with Mullion, the Lizard villages and the approaches to Falmouth covered in around 30–40 minutes. The A394 links us toward Falmouth and Penryn, while the A3083 serves Culdrose and the south coast and connects onward to the A30 spine across Cornwall.

Industries we move every day in Helston

RNAS Culdrose, one of the largest helicopter bases in Europe, generates a steady demand for time-critical aviation and defence movements, and we support it alongside the area's marine and engineering firms. We also carry for agriculture and the daffodil and flower growers of the Lizard, fishing and food producers, and the tourism trade that fills the south coast each summer — moving parts, documents and urgent stock around the clock.
