Our Mon–Sun 8am–8pm dispatch window means you're never left waiting for Monday morning.

Freight Forwarding from Exeter

Exeter is a regional hub for South West logistics, with easy access to the M5 and strategic routes to Bristol, Birmingham and London. T&C Logistics bases our operation from the Thames Valley but maintain rapid collection and despatch across 60+ UK cities, including Exeter and surrounding Devon postcodes (EX1–EX31). Our same-day freight forwarding service is ideal for time-sensitive shipments: collect in the morning, deliver by evening anywhere in the UK.

We cover part-load consolidation, full lorry loads (FLLs), palletised goods, and specialist freight including pharmaceuticals under temperature control and ADR hazardous cargo. Typical response time is 30–60 minutes from booking.

Who Needs Freight Forwarding in Exeter

Exeter's business base spans multiple industries where freight forwarding is essential:

• Manufacturing (461 active firms): Parts, assemblies, finished goods moving to customers or production lines nationwide.
• Pharmaceutical & Medical (462 firms): Temperature-controlled, time-critical deliveries requiring full traceability and compliance.
• Aerospace (7 firms): High-value, regulated components with strict handling and documentation requirements.
• Retail & E-commerce: Consolidated shipments to distribution centres or direct-to-consumer deliveries.
• Trade & Wholesale: Regular bulk freight from suppliers to regional warehouses or shops.

If your business moves goods regularly—whether daily, weekly or on-demand—freight forwarding saves you the cost of maintaining your own fleet and staff.
