Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Workington and the west Cumbrian coast — covering the CA14 postcode and neighbouring CA areas — with collection in around 30 minutes and direct-drive delivery anywhere in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Workington coverage and response times

From the harbour and town centre out to Seaton, Harrington and Great Clifton, a courier is usually with you in about 30 minutes. Maryport is around 15 minutes away, Cockermouth 15–20, and Whitehaven roughly 20 down the A595. The A66 is our main artery east towards Cockermouth, Keswick, Penrith and the M6 — and with no motorway on the coast itself, our direct-drive service is often the fastest way out the same day.

Industries we move every day in Workington

We support the town's engineering and steel-rail heritage businesses, manufacturing and fabrication firms, chemical and process plants, port and offshore-energy suppliers, plus healthcare, construction and retail clients across the CA postcodes.
