Reading's healthcare sector—from the Royal Berkshire Hospital to independent clinics across RG1–RG31—demands logistics partners who understand urgency, compliance and precision. T&C Logistics provides dedicated medical logistics services to Reading, delivering specimens, pharmaceuticals, equipment and time-critical samples within hours, not days.

Founded in 2020 and based in the Thames Valley, we operate a ULEZ-compliant fleet with real-time GPS tracking, temperature-controlled vehicles and ADR-certified handlers. Whether you need biological samples rushed to a lab on London Road or cold-chain pharmaceuticals delivered to a practice in Caversham, we're available round the clock.

About Medical Logistics in Reading

Reading is home to over 174,000 residents and a thriving medical sector spanning NHS facilities, private practices, diagnostic laboratories and pharmaceutical distribution hubs. The Royal Berkshire Hospital, located on London Road RG1, is the area's primary acute trust. Alongside this, independent clinics, GP surgeries and specialist centres operate across postcodes including RG2, RG4 (Caversham), RG6 (Earley) and RG7 (Winnersh).

Medical logistics in Reading must navigate the town's congested road network—the A33, A4 and M4 junction 11—while maintaining strict temperature, sterility and documentation standards. T&C Logistics has mastered this: 67% of our deliveries arrive within the booked window, and our 5.0/5 Google Reviews rating reflects years of healthcare sector experience.

  • Biological samples: Blood tests, tissue samples, swabs transported in temperature-controlled vehicles with chain-of-custody documentation.

  • Medical equipment: Urgent delivery of diagnostic devices, mobility aids and surgical instruments to hospitals and clinics.

We regularly handle urgent specimen collections from GP surgeries and private clinics throughout the town, emergency prescription deliveries to care homes across Berkshire, and time-critical shipments to and from pharmacies across the region.

Our local knowledge of Reading's road networks means we can navigate congestion and find the most efficient routes, crucial when delivering temperature-controlled products where every minute counts. We're familiar with the parking and access restrictions around key locations, ensuring smooth collections and deliveries without unnecessary delays.
