Houghton Regis coverage and response times

Houghton Regis sits beside the A5 and the M1 at junctions 11 and 11a, with the A5–M1 link road making the wider distribution belt easy to reach. A driver can usually collect within about 30 minutes, be at Luton Airport in 15, reach Milton Keynes or Hemel Hempstead in around 30, and be in central London inside an hour via the M1. Everything is driven direct, with no consolidation.

Industries we move every day in Houghton Regis

The town and the surrounding A5 corridor are packed with logistics and distribution centres, and we regularly carry urgent stock, returns and parts for warehousing and e-commerce operators. We also serve local manufacturing and engineering firms, the construction and aggregates sector, and automotive suppliers across south Bedfordshire.
