Triple D Express are based in the Midlands which means they can get anywhere when required.

Why is the Midlands the best place to set up a Business?

Many well-established companies and brands throughout the UK set themselves up in the East Midlands. Courier operators are no different. Being in the Midlands means we can get to anywhere in the country as quickly as possible. In an age when everyone wants everything yesterday, being accessible has never been more important. So that’s why being right in the middle is so important. Below we discuss why being in the centre of the UK is so beneficial for us as a business and why it allows us to help other nationwide and midlands-based businesses where we can.

Easy access

Triple D can claim easy access to all the essential motorways at the drop of a hat. From our Birmingham base, if a company has a same-day courier service requirement, then our couriers and drivers can be on the road just like that. Working with clients who are based up and down the country, it is imperative that we can jump on the road ASAP. Whether clients are using our secure storage solutions or just the courier service, we can help. We often work with nationwide businesses, meaning we are all over the country.

Just as an example, if we were working with a flooring distributor, we would need to be able to deliver large consignments all over the UK at short notice. Some flooring companies based in the midlands offer a next-day delivery service. For example, if we were dispatching for a company like Flooring Direct, which offers next-day vinyl flooring, we would be able to offer them a secure storage solution for their rolls. From there, Triple D would be on the case whenever a product needed to be delivered, ensuring that both the sender and the recipient were happy with the seamless delivery. That’s why being a midlands-based business is so important to us. We are able to get Ashbourne and to the customer in double quick time.

Everything we need is in the Midlands

Not only do our logistics hold up in the Midlands, but so does the accessibility of other companies. For example, because of where we are, we are able to find local businesses that help us out. That means we’re not trekking up and down the country when we don’t need to. We save that for our deliveries! Because of the automated systems that we have in place, we often need IT support to keep the system and software up to date. Whilst our in-house team ensure nothing ever goes wrong, it’s good to know that IT support companies in Derby and other areas in the Midlands would be able to help at every opportunity. We are always finding new ways to improve our service, and IT and technology play an integral part in that. Brilliant news for midlands businesses!

Triple D Express are eye-catching for the customer

On top of that, we also work to please the customer. The customer experience has to be top-notch. But first, we need to attract the customer to work with us. Thanks to our branding, clients and customers alike have often chosen Triple D Express. Our brand speaks for itself as our reputation, as shown in our customer reviews. We are delighted with the progress the company has made. The Midlands is a haven for marketing companies who can assist us with our work. Digital Marketing agencies in Derby such as Maximizon are able to scoot all over the country, providing their services. And if they are ever sending out boxes or leaflets, they know which courier to use. We’re all about helping local businesses; that is exactly what we do at Triple D Express.

Same-Day Courier Services: Everything You Need To Know

According to data from the Office for National Statistics, in 2019, the courier, express, and parcel services industry in the United Kingdom generated approximately £13 billion in revenue. The industry employed over 150,000 people in the same year. The industry is expected to continue growing in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for online shopping and home delivery services.

Why do businesses use same-day courier services?

Businesses use same-day courier services for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. Time-sensitive deliveries: Same-day couriers can quickly transport goods and documents that need to be delivered urgently, such as legal documents, medical samples, and replacement parts.
  2. Flexibility: Same-day couriers can often provide customised delivery options, such as specific delivery times or direct-to-recipient service, giving businesses the flexibility to meet their unique needs.
  3. Reliability: Same-day couriers are generally considered more reliable than traditional mail or parcel delivery services, as they typically provide real-time tracking and delivery confirmation.
  4. Cost-effective: Same-day couriers can be more cost-effective than using an overnight delivery service or taking on the cost and logistics of delivering goods in-house.
  5. Competitive advantage: Same-day delivery can give a business a competitive advantage by providing faster, more reliable service than the competition and by meeting customer expectations for fast delivery.

What should you look out for in a suitable courier service?

When looking for a good courier service, there are several key factors to consider:

  1. Speed and reliability: A good courier service should be able to provide fast and reliable delivery, with the ability to meet your specific delivery requirements and deadlines.
  2. Tracking and communication: A good courier service should offer real-time tracking and delivery confirmation, as well as regular updates on the status of your shipment.
  3. Flexibility: A great courier service should be able to accommodate a wide range of delivery needs, including same-day, next-day, and international delivery, as well as offer different options like express or standard delivery.
  4. Insurance: A good courier service should offer insurance coverage for your shipments so that you can have peace of mind that your goods are protected in case of loss or damage.
  5. Cost: A good courier service should offer competitive pricing without compromising service quality and be transparent about any additional fees or surcharges.
  6. Customer Service: A great courier service should have a responsive customer service team that is able to handle any questions or issues that may arise during the shipping process.
  7. Experience and Reputation: A courier service you can trust should have a solid reputation in the market and should have experience handling a variety of different types of shipments.

Is the midlands a good place for logistics companies?

The Midlands region of the United Kingdom is considered a strategic location for logistics companies due to several factors:

  1. Transportation infrastructure: The Midlands has a well-developed transportation infrastructure, including motorways, rail lines, and airports, which allows for the efficient movement of goods.
  2. Proximity to major cities: The Midlands is well-connected to major cities such as London, Birmingham, and Manchester, which are important centres for business and industry.
  3. Skilled workforce: The Midlands has a large and skilled workforce, making it an attractive location for logistics companies that require a skilled labour force.
  4. Business-friendly environment: The Midlands has a business-friendly environment, with various government initiatives to support the growth of logistics companies.
  5. Cost-effective: The cost of living and operating logistics companies in the Midlands is typically lower than in other parts of the country, making it an attractive location for companies looking to lower their costs.

That said, the logistics industry is competitive and dynamic, and it’s important to evaluate all the factors that can impact a logistics company, like the specific location, the type of cargo and the target market, among others. Speak to us today

Triple D Express provide a private courier service

Why does using a private courier service give businesses a competitive advantage?

Today the lives we lead are fast-paced and customers don’t want to wait for the product or service they’re paying for. To stand out, businesses need to keep up with client expectations, particularly those who want their goods in a hurry. By using a private courier service, companies are more likely to establish a reputation for being reliable, professional, and committed to meeting people’s needs, which gives them a competitive advantage in more ways than one.

Use a private courier service to improve client relationships

To cultivate a strong relationship with clients, businesses need to be trustworthy. By using a private courier service that can carry out urgent deliveries on your behalf, you’ll be able to reassure clients that you can accommodate any last-minute requests they may have. Being able to support critical changes will not only improve a business’s relationship with its customers but will ensure it’s known as being a reputable and genuine company to purchase from. In addition, if the private courier service has a same-day delivery option, the company that uses them will have the advantage of pulling off some profound turnaround times. For example, if you’re located in the Midlands, Triple D Express will be able to collect items from your premises within half an hour, which should be enough to impress even the most demanding of customers.

Fast results without the stress

If a business uses a private courier service, you and your customers will be reassured that their items will get to where they need to be on time, every time. You won’t have to spend time tracking down items or explaining to valued clients that their delivery has gone missing or will be delayed. Instead, by using a private courier service, businesses can hand over the stress of any logistical problems to professionals who will provide reassurance that the job is in hand and deadlines will be met. Available 24/7, private courier services give businesses a point of contact who handles the quote, collection, delivery and tracking details. The items will also be fully insured, regardless of their size or worth, which will give companies and their clients peace of mind and less to worry about.

A more personal service  

Businesses often choose to use private courier services instead of companies Royal Mail because they’re more reliable. If you have items that need to be sent to a customer in a hurry, it makes sense to use a company that will be able to guarantee their safe arrival. Using a private courier is also a more personal delivery method than the traditional postal service. Not only will clients be reassured that their goods will arrive when they need them, but you’ll be able to track the journey while they’re in transit. This will enable you to update the client accordingly and communicate where their item is and what time it’s expected to arrive at its destination. This all amounts to a more exclusive and superior service that reaffirms to clients that their business is valued and respected.
