My Background before Starting Route 1 was a sales representative for the Johnson Press (The Chronicle and Echo), working on the property supplement across their three titles and internet sales. I really enjoy the day to day work at Route 1 and being part of our dedicated team. I’m looking forward to “driving route 1 forward” excuse the pun, and “going that extra” mile for my clients. In my spare time (when I’m not playing taxi to my children), I love spending time with them, my husband and my friends socialising. I also enjoy exercise classes and taking my children to their weekly hobbies.
DEDICATED TO GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Running a large fleet of dedicated couriers, we are able to collect your urgent consignments without delay and get them moving quickly in the direction of where they need to be. We provide ad hoc express delivery services to the banking, electronics, telecommunications, advertising, marketing, legal and pharmaceutical industries to name but a few.
In addition we have attracted many UK overnight and International global carriers who call upon us to provide a reliable and trustworthy “back up” to their own operations during busy periods or when a collection is urgently needed away from their own geographical location.
