Business deliveries from Gillingham
Can you collect from anywhere on Gillingham Business Park?
Yes. The park covers around 40 hectares of offices, light industrial units, trade counters and retail warehousing along Ambley Road, Courtney Road and the streets off them, at the junction of the A2 and the A278. Whether you’re sending a single envelope or a pallet, we match the vehicle to the job, from a motorcycle or small car to a van or tail-lift lorry.
What about the hospital and the riverside?
Medway Maritime Hospital on Windmill Road, ME7, is open 24 hours a day, so clinical supplies and specimens can need moving at any hour; enquiries reach us 24/7, and collection depends on a driver being available. On the north shore we collect from the commercial units on Pier Road and at Victory Pier, beside the Chatham Waters regeneration, and from town-centre offices and trade counters along the A2.

Central London is about 35 miles, typically 65 to 95 minutes via the M2 and A2. Heathrow is around 62 miles, typically 70 to 105 minutes via the M2, A2 and M25, to the cargo area. M25 junction 2 is typically 25 to 35 minutes from the business park. Heading east, Canterbury is 35 to 45 minutes and Sheerness 30 to 40 minutes via the M2 and A249.

The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
