There are some same day courier companies that can help you organise the most challenging and logistically awkward deliveries you can imagine! So to get the best delivery you need the best kind of courier.

The best kind of courier has knowledge comes through experience and is invaluable when moving sensitive or awkward or fragile goods.

Wednesday was a difficult day for our same day courier and delivery business. It started off very well, two contracts were due to start and we were prepping our drivers with the new requirements.

After the recent successes of our first two offline networking events we have decided to do something a bit different this time.

We are going to sponsor with a group of other companies a business networking barbeque in Lakeside West Thurrock.

What happens is local business people come along, meet up, chat, listen to two great speakers, sample our South African barbeque (it's authentic) and make good business connections. Our speakers are Alan Stevens aka the Media Coach and Baiju Solanki, local business man and performance coach.

2. Check you have a full tank of fuel and plenty of screenwash with the correct amount of water / antifreeze in the Read more
