Industries we move every day in Strood

Strood and the Medway towns have a substantial manufacturing, logistics and construction sector. We regularly collect for engineering and fabrication companies along the Kingswear Road and Commissioners Road industrial estates, and for haulage and logistics operators that need same-day overflow or express deliveries to cover failed services. The proximity to the Channel Tunnel rail terminal at Folkestone and the Port of Dover also makes Strood a useful staging point for consignments entering or leaving the UK, and our on-board courier service can assist with time-critical cross-Channel runs.
