Preston - Nextday Freight Ltd. (Preston, Head Office)
Nextday Freight was established in 2004 as an independent freight forwarder with a focus on express European road freight delivered by dedicated vehicles for urgent or high-value shipments, often requiring just-in-time delivery to the customer’s point of use. Over the years, the company has expanded to provide worldwide air, sea, and rail freight transport, with an emphasis on strong customer service and reliability. The business highlights its ability to respond to time-sensitive requests around the clock, supported by an established European network and a pool of carefully selected carriers for urgent deadlines. The organization has built its capabilities around bespoke, dedicated services for customers whose transport requirements differ from standard groupage or pallet networks, enabling a tailored and hands-on approach to logistics.
Product and service focus includes dedicated express road freight within Europe, AOG-style support for aerospace logistics, and a broader international freight offering that encompasses air, sea, and rail shipping. The company places importance on maintaining direct communication with airlines and customs authorities, with staff trained to handle customs declarations and airway bill processes in-house to expedite shipments and reduce third-party dependency. Training investments include customs procedures and dangerous goods awareness, reflecting compliance with regulatory requirements and a commitment to safe handling of sensitive cargo.
Nextday Freight emphasizes service quality as a differentiator, noting that a smaller, customer-centric operation enables staff to develop personal relationships with clients. This approach aims to provide responsive, individualized attention, with ongoing updates and proactive problem-solving to manage transport deadlines. The business maintains a focus on industries where time sensitivity is critical, including automotive, aerospace, entertainment, and other sectors requiring reliable, time-critical logistics solutions. The company reports a track record of timely deliveries and a high level of customer satisfaction, supported by continued expansion into new modes of transport and value-added services for complex projects and time-critical shipments.
Specialized capabilities described by the company include express European road transport with dedicated vehicles, airfreight, sea freight, and rail freight transport, complemented by competencies in dangerous goods handling and ADR-trained operations. The organization highlights its ability to accommodate time-critical needs with same-day or next-day deliveries, an established European network, and an emphasis on maintaining direct, hands-on management of shipments from origin to destination. Across its service lines, Nextday Freight aims to deliver prompt, reliable movement of freight while maintaining open lines of communication and a customer-focused service model.
