The rapid growth of COVID-19 has created challenges for us all to deal with but how has it affected the courier industry?
As a result of the coronavirus couriers across the country have had a significant decrease in the number of goods transported across the UK on a daily basis. Industry sectors such as manufacturing, retail, exhibitions and events are among some of the industries that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on. Many courier companies like Fastlane have shifted their focus to the healthcare sector providing urgent delivery solutions whilst maintaining the same service level for all customers that have remained open.
Despite the challenges put against us, Fastlane has sustained our rapid collection times across the country ensuring that we do our part to support our customers in their efforts to keep Britain moving throughout the pandemic. We will continue to provide short notice dedicated transport solutions whilst reaming extremely mindful of the ever-changing guidelines.
