Cambridge and the surrounding CB postcode area is home to world-class research institutions, biotech firms, and thriving independent businesses. Whether you're in the city centre, Trumpington, or the science parks along the A10 corridor, T&C Logistics delivers same-day courier service with 30–60 minute collection times. We serve over 30 UK cities and specialise in time-critical deliveries for pharmaceutical companies, tech businesses, and retailers throughout East Anglia.
Coverage in CB — Cambridge Postcodes
The CB postcode area spans Cambridge city centre and extends across surrounding villages including Trumpington, Grantchester, Toft, Bottisham, and Waterbeach. Our drivers operate across all CB postcodes — CB1 through CB25 — with particular strength in the biotech and research hotspots along the A10 near Cambridge Science Park and the Babraham Institute south of the city. We're equally familiar with Milton Road (A6), the M11 corridor, and the A14 towards Newmarket, so collection and delivery across the entire postcode area is rapid and reliable.
Cambridge sits within the East of England logistics corridor, where same-day delivery demand is driven by research institutions, pharmaceutical firms, and tech companies. Our 42-minute average collection time from booking means we can reach businesses at the heart of the Science Park, the university colleges, and outlying villages with equal efficiency. If your shipment needs to connect with London, the Midlands, Manchester, or further afield, we can arrange next-leg transport or coordinate multi-leg deliveries on the same day.

Cambridge's economy spans pharmaceuticals, software development, life sciences, and education. We work with:

Our Service Across the CB Postcode Area
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with dedicated dispatch teams. Average collection time in CB is 42 minutes from booking to vehicle arrival. Every shipment is GPS tracked in real time, so you can monitor progress from collection to delivery. Our fleet includes standard vans for parcels, insulated vehicles for pharmaceutical and temperature-controlled items, and larger vehicles for furniture and pallets. All vans are ULEZ-compliant, meaning they're permitted in London and all future Clean Air Zones — important if your Cambridge business ships to or through urban centres.
Beyond Cambridge, we serve 30+ UK cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. This network means your CB-based business can offer reliable same-day or next-day delivery to customers across the country without managing multiple courier contracts.
"Cambridge is a hub for innovation and time-sensitive research. Our pharmaceutical and biotech clients here depend on us for rapid, compliant delivery of samples and equipment across the UK. The science parks along the A10 are literally minutes from our closest collection points — we can get anywhere in CB within an hour, and we understand the regulatory rigour these sectors demand." — Taras Zavalinii, Founder, T&C Logistics
