Industries we move every day in West Ham
West Ham and its immediate surrounds host a diverse industrial and commercial base. We move time-critical freight for logistics and distribution operators around the Royal Docks and Thames Gateway, deliver construction materials and plant spares to the major development sites along the Stratford waterfront, and support the growing tech and creative businesses that have followed the East Bank regeneration. Healthcare supplies for Newham University Hospital and clinical couriers to the wider NHS East London network are a regular part of our workload.
