Topspeed Couriers Company Background
Formed in 1985, Topspeed Couriers Limited specialises in the delivery by dedicated vehicles of urgent, time sensitive and high value goods, including Dangerous Goods of Class 7 Radioactive and 6.2 Infectious Substances. Operating with a large fleet of company owned vehicles, including Vauxhall Astra and Mercedes Sprinter vans, the company has built on a reputation for working successfully with large corporations in the financial, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, nuclear power generation and private & public healthcare sectors.
Sales for the year to March 2007 have seen the company grow by another 27% and continued business development is planned through to 2009. The key to the company's success is continued investment in its own staff and resources, which in turn reflects in improved customer service and long term profitability.
Many 'same-day' courier services rely heavily on the use of sub-contractors, or franchisees. By placing the burden of liability, reliability, safety, insurance and vehicle maintenance and replacement onto the sub-contractor, the operator aims to keep to a minimum their own costs and therefore achieving ultimate profitability, without regard to the resultant loss of control over both their own operation and their client's goods.
In contrast, Topspeed does not employ sub-contractors or franchisees. The company has for many years invested heavily in its own vehicle fleet and employs a team of dedicated staff for both its operational and administrative roles.
As well as specialising in the carriage of High Consequence Dangerous Goods, the company has extensive knowledge of operating bespoke delivery systems for customers in the aerospace, financial, banking and manufacturing industries as well as secure inter-office scheduled services for Government agencies.
It has designed self-standing systems to monitor costs, ensure vehicle reliability and driver safety and, to deliver the highest levels of customer service, utilises the very latest integrated real-time GPRS tracking, navigation & electronic proof-of-delivery system to monitor the movement of vehicles and consignments 24 hours a day.
These factors differentiate the Topspeed service apart from its rivals within the urgent delivery and courier market.
