Our distribution services utilise a fleet of 7.5t, 18t trucks, and vans to deliver goods nationwide. Specialising in non-standard freight, we offer same-day, next-day, and pre-booked options with real-time tracking. Tail lifts and uniformed teams ensure safe handling of bulky or fragile items, while backloads optimise cost-efficiency for UK-wide deliveries.
Warehousing
With four on-site warehouses near Manchester, we provide racked and block-stack storage for diverse cargo. Our facilities support e-fulfilment for large products like furniture, offering pick-and-pack services. Secure storage combined with nationwide distribution creates a seamless logistics hub for businesses requiring flexible inventory management and order processing.

The 2 men who delivered my garden furniture on Wednesday went above and beyond, not only did they have to walk quite a distance (with my delivery) due to access issues, when they got here they were extremely helpful and friendly.

I do not normally add reviews unless I have been severely let down or upset about something, so this is a very pleasant change for me. The team that delivered my garden furniture last Friday late afternoon were an absolute delight and so very helpful. They are an asset to your company and have restored my faith in good British companies. I will ensure that Dawsons who supplied the furniture are aware of your exemplary service, from updating me with the delivery time to the eventual receipt of the goods, thank you so very much.
