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.

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.
