We are thrilled to announce another significant milestone in our history: the hiring of our 200th employee. This achievement reflects our continued growth and commitment to delivering exceptional courier services across the UK.
Founded in 1985 by CEO Stephen Clegg, Topspeed has steadily expanded over the decades. Today, the company boasts a workforce of 200 employees, comprising of 163 directly employed drivers, of which 30% are ADR-trained to handle dangerous goods. The remaining 37 employees work at the company’s Headquarters in Winsford Hub in roles in Operations, Warehouse and in our in-house Academy and Workshop.
Alongside Stephen on our senior leadership team are Sarah Ginham-Clegg Assurance Director, who spearheads our ISO certifications and compliance, and Managing Director Gillian Lockley. Gillian recently celebrated her own 10th anniversary with the business and she shared her excitement about this growth: “Reaching the milestone of 200 employees is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. We take pride in directly employing all our staff, ensuring that every driver and team member is fully integrated into the Topspeed family. This helps us maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our operations.”
In addition to its in-house team, Topspeed has developed long-term relationships with external consultants to bring flexible specialist expertise into the business. These consultants provide support in GDPR compliance, training, and marketing, ensuring Topspeed remains a leader in the courier industry.
A cornerstone of Topspeed’s services is our ability to safely transport hazardous materials. To this end, we have two Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSA) on the team, while another team member is nearing completion of his DGSA certification, further strengthening our specialist capabilities.
Under our senior leadership team, Topspeed continues to uphold the core values it was built on almost 40 years ago, providing safe, reliable, and efficient courier services.
