Get a QuoteExeter has established itself as the premier business location in the south-west of England. The Met Office, the UK's national meteorological service, has its global headquarters at Exeter Science Park, making the city a centre for weather science, climate research and environmental data. The University of Exeter is a Russell Group institution with world-class research in engineering, biosciences and data science. The city's Skypark development near the airport has attracted aerospace and technology companies, while Exeter's historic city centre remains home to professional services and financial firms. This diverse economy creates regular demand for time-critical courier services.
From Exeter we dispatch small vans for documents and parcels up to 600 kg, long wheel base vans for pallet-sized consignments, Luton box vans with tail lift for awkward or fragile loads, and 7.5 tonne trucks for larger same day movements. Every vehicle is GPS tracked, signwritten, and crewed by a vetted driver — and we can quote a vehicle and a fixed price the moment you call from Exeter.
Every Exeter booking includes a 60-minute collection target, a dedicated driver and vehicle for your job alone, full goods-in-transit insurance, live tracking from collection through to delivery, proof of delivery on completion, and 24/7/365 phone support from our control room — including bank holidays and out-of-hours weekends. The price you are quoted is the price you pay; waiting time, fuel and tolls are already factored in.
The Met Office generates significant courier demand, with data storage devices, printed forecasts, calibration equipment and official documents regularly needing same day delivery to government departments, airports and partner organisations across the UK. Exeter's growing tech and data science sector, clustered around the Science Park and university, relies on us for hardware and prototype deliveries. The aerospace companies at Skypark need precision component transport. We also serve the University of Exeter's research departments, the city's legal and financial services firms in the city centre, and the environmental science organisations that have been drawn to Exeter by the Met Office's presence.
Our Exeter drivers regularly run jobs to and from the surrounding towns, business parks and industrial estates listed below. There are no postcode surcharges and no minimum-distance rules — every nearby location is quoted on the same per-mile, per-vehicle basis as the Exeter centre.
Exeter sits at the southern end of the M5, with the A30 continuing west to Cornwall and the A38 heading south to Plymouth and Torbay. The M5 provides rapid northbound access to Bristol, Birmingham and the wider motorway network, making Exeter the natural gateway for same day deliveries from the south-west to the rest of the UK. Our drivers know the Exeter area well, including the best routes to the Science Park, the Skypark development near the airport, and the business parks along the A379 and Sowton industrial estate.
