Tavistock coverage and response times

A driver can usually reach a Tavistock collection within 30 minutes, with Yelverton and Mary Tavy minutes away and Plymouth or Okehampton around 30. We follow the A386 towards Plymouth and the A38, and the A30 at Okehampton for the run east, so the South West peninsula, Cornwall over the Tamar, and Exeter are all reachable for same day work.

Industries we move every day in Tavistock

This Dartmoor market town has a strong agricultural and food-producing base, a busy local retail and tourism economy, and the mining heritage of the Tamar Valley World Heritage Site. We carry farm and veterinary supplies, food and hospitality goods, manufacturing and engineering parts, and urgent documents and samples for businesses across west Devon and east Cornwall.
