Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express delivers a same day courier service across Loughborough and Charnwood — serving LE11 and LE12 postcodes — with collection in around 30 minutes and a non-stop drive to any destination in the UK. Pricing is by quote; call 0800 288 4052 for an immediate price.

Loughborough coverage and response times

We collect from Loughborough town centre, Shepshed, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Mountsorrel and the Charnwood Business Park area within 30 minutes. The M1 at junction 23 is under five minutes from most of the town, giving us swift onward access to Leicester (LE1) in around 20 minutes and Nottingham (NG1) in approximately 25 minutes via the A60. Derby is reachable in around 35 minutes via the A6 north.

Industries we move every day in Loughborough

Loughborough has a strong engineering and technology heritage anchored by Loughborough University’s research partnerships and spin-out companies. We handle regular urgent movements for precision engineering firms, scientific instrument manufacturers, and telecoms businesses. The town’s pharmaceutical and healthcare sector — including suppliers to the NHS trusts in Leicester and Nottingham — also generates frequent same-day requirements, as do the sporting goods manufacturers that call Loughborough home.
