Covid 19 Update

Since the start of this dreadful pandemic, we have increased our fleet of vans by around 80 vehicles, entirely in response to the massive demand placed on us by the entire medical and pharmaceutical sector. We have been heavily involved since April 2020 in the delivery of PPE, tests, prescriptions, medication at all times of day and night; from distribution centres to mobile testing units and regional testing sites; from hospitals, care homes, prisons, GP’s surgeries, dentists, private companies and test centres to test laboratories all over the country.

We have also set up and run a specialist seven night a week sortation facility for Covid tests; absolute accuracy and professionalism is required in a process like this, there is no margin for error in this kind of operational arena. Prompt performance reporting is vital to back all this up – it is fair to say that 1st Class Logistics UK has provided enormous support to the NHS in the UK, with a previously unprecedented volume of movements and level of precision for the company.
