Same day courier for manufacturing
Downtime is expensive. When a line is waiting on a component, a tool or a batch of materials, we collect within the hour and drive it straight to your goods-in.
The East Midlands has a big manufacturing base, and our Nottingham location puts us close to many of the industrial estates and supplier parks around it.
What we move for manufacturers
- Production components and sub-assemblies
- Raw materials and stock
- Tooling, jigs and fixtures
- Machine spares
- Samples and first-off parts
- Parts to and from subcontractors
- Packaging for production
- Finished goods for urgent orders
Why manufacturers choose Vanguard
Downtime cut short
We aim to collect within 60 minutes and drive direct, with an ETA your production planner can work with.
Subcontract runs
We shuttle parts to and from platers, machinists and heat treaters the same day.
Heavy items handled
Tail-lift vehicles and trucks mean we can take heavier spares and pallets.
How a same day booking works
Tell us the job
Call, WhatsApp or send the quote form with both postcodes and what you're sending. We reply with a price and a collection time.
We collect within the hour
Once you confirm, the nearest suitable driver heads to you. We aim to be there within 60 minutes.
Follow the journey
Your goods stay on that one vehicle. You get live ETAs, and a real person if you need to change anything.
Delivered direct
We hand over at the delivery address and confirm to you as soon as it's done.
