Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Stretford and the Trafford area of Greater Manchester — serving M32 and surrounding postcodes — with collection in around 30 minutes and a direct-drive delivery to any destination in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation price.

Stretford coverage and response times

Our drivers cover Stretford, Trafford Park (adjacent), Old Trafford, Gorse Hill and neighbouring Sale (2 miles south), Salford (3 miles north) and Manchester city centre (3 miles east). The M60 runs along the north edge of Stretford at Junction 7, and the A56 Chester Road provides fast access into Manchester city centre and south towards Altrincham. Manchester Airport is approximately 7 miles south via the M56. Collections in M32 are typically completed within 30 minutes of your call.

Industries we move every day in Stretford

Stretford's most distinctive industrial asset is its immediate adjacency to Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest and oldest industrial estates — where logistics, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution businesses generate constant demand for same-day urgent freight. MediaCityUK in neighbouring Salford also means broadcast, technology and creative-sector companies occasionally need rapid deliveries. We handle everything from manufacturing components and engineering parts to time-critical commercial documents.
