Six security steps

How Our Secure Courier Service Protects Every Job

A secure courier is more than a fast van. Every secure job follows the same six steps, so there are no gaps between collection and handover.

  • 1. Vetted driver assigned: a fully vetted driver is allocated to your job as soon as you book
  • 2. Sealed at collection: goods are placed in a sealed, tamper-evident bag or case, and the driver photographs them
  • 3. Direct, with nothing else on board: one vehicle, your goods only, driven straight to the address. No depots and no other drops
  • 4. Chain of custody recorded: every step, from collection to handover, is signed and timed, so you know who had your goods and when
  • 5. Named-recipient handover: goods are handed only to the person you name, with photo ID checked if you ask, once the seal is confirmed intact
  • 6. Proof of delivery: signature, name and time recorded, the item photographed at delivery, and proof of delivery emailed on handover

Updates throughout: live tracking through our customer portal, plus updates from our team, and you can contact us at any time, 24/7.

High-value items

What is a secure courier service?

A secure courier service moves high-value or sensitive goods with extra controls: a fully vetted driver, a sealed, tamper-evident bag or case, a signed chain of custody and handover only to the person you name, with photo ID checked if you ask.

How is a secure courier different from a dedicated courier?

Both use one vehicle for your goods only, driven direct by a fully vetted driver. Secure adds sealed goods, a full chain of custody with every step signed and timed, and handover only to the named recipient, with photo ID checked if you ask.

Are your drivers vetted?

Yes. Every secure job is handled by a fully vetted driver.

What is a chain of custody?

A signed, timed record of every step of the job, from collection to handover. It shows who had your goods and when, with no gaps.

Can only a named person receive the delivery?

Yes. The driver hands goods only to the person you name, after confirming the seal is intact. We check their photo ID too if you ask.

Can you courier laptops and IT equipment?

Yes. We deliver company laptops to staff homes, collect devices from leavers, and move servers and data drives between sites, all sealed and signed for.

How much insurance cover do I get?

We offer goods in transit insurance from £2,000 up to £250,000. Tell us the value of your goods and choose the cover you need when you book; the cost is shown in your quote, so there are no surprises.

Can I track my secure delivery?

Yes. You get live tracking through our customer portal, plus updates from our team from collection to delivery, then proof of delivery with photos taken at collection and delivery.

How much does a secure courier cost?

The price depends on distance, vehicle size, timing and insurance cover. We confirm a fixed price before you book.

Do you deliver documents securely?

Yes. Contracts, legal papers and tenders are covered by our document delivery service.
