Key industries in Leicester
Leicester's medical and pharmaceutical sector is one of the East Midlands' fastest-growing industries, with over 2,600 active medical and pharma businesses registered across the city and county. From research facilities on University Road to distribution hubs near Meridian East, medical logistics demands speed, reliability, and regulatory precision—qualities that define T&C Logistics' service. Since 2020, we've supported Leicester hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical distributors, and medical device manufacturers with same-day courier collections and temperature-controlled freight. Whether you're shipping urgent clinical supplies to the Royal Infirmary, moving stock between Leicester pharmaceutical firms, or coordinating time-critical AOG (aircraft-on-ground) medical equipment, our ULEZ-compliant fleet delivers from £50. We understand that in healthcare, delays cost lives and compliance breaches cost licences.
Medical courier services in Leicester
Medical logistics in Leicester requires more than speed—it demands accuracy, integrity, and transparency. T&C Logistics operates a dedicated same-day courier service specifically designed for the medical sector, with collections available from any Leicester postcode within 30–60 minutes of booking. Our fleet is GPS-tracked, fully insured, and available Mon–Sun 8am–8pm, with extended evening slots available by pre-arrangement.

Our drivers understand the sensitivity of medical cargo and the importance of chain-of-custody documentation.
Medical sector requirements and compliance
The medical and pharmaceutical logistics sector is heavily regulated. T&C Logistics operates with full awareness of:
- Temperature control: We offer cold-chain courier and freight services for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals (2–8°C storage and transport with temperature monitoring).
- Traceability: Every shipment is GPS-tracked and documented with proof of collection, delivery, and condition on arrival.
- Insurance: We carry full public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, with declarations available for high-value medical equipment and stock.
- ADR/Hazmat: Our fleet includes ADR-certified vehicles for transport of hazardous pharmaceuticals and medical waste where required.
- Data security: We maintain confidentiality agreements for patient data, medical records, and proprietary pharmaceutical information.
We do not offer 24/7 dispatch (we operate 8am–8pm daily), so medical businesses requiring genuine out-of-hours urgent logistics should confirm availability before booking.
