FMCG logistics rarely needs just one service. A launch sample, a supermarket replenishment run and a chilled trade-show delivery all have different requirements, so we match the service to the job rather than forcing everything down one route.
Most of our FMCG clients hold a single account and draw on whichever service the job needs that day. Every option below runs on dedicated vehicles with live tracking, so confidential product and pre-launch stock are never co-loaded with anyone else’s freight.
Our fleet supports the full range of FMCG delivery scenarios:
| Emergency replenishment or a missed drop | Same-day UK Direct |
| Confidential pre-launch samples and campaign assets | Dedicated same-day, no shared loads |
| Chilled or frozen product and short-life goods | Refrigerated delivery |
| Overnight stock into store for a morning go-live | Overnight delivery |
| Multi-drop runs to supermarkets, RDCs and wholesalers | Scheduled multi-drop on a dedicated vehicle |
| European retailer and distributor deliveries | European Direct |
| Export samples and international launches | Worldwide delivery |
| Campaign stock held ready for release | Warehousing and storage in London |
