Cambridge Courier Services: A Family-Run Business
At Cambridge Courier Services, our Cambridge family-run courier business is built on people, consistency, and decades of hands-on knowledge within the same-day courier industry.
With over 30 years of history, our business is built on first-hand understanding of what time-critical deliveries really demand.
How It All Started: Life on Two Wheels
Keith (Founder) began his courier career in 1989 as a motorcycle courier. He was navigating long-distance and city deliveries long before advanced tracking systems and route optimisation tools existed.
“I Remember spending my first 12 months soaked to the skin. I covered 96,000 miles this year on a 600cc Yamaha…and loved it apart from becoming a little saddle sore!”
That experience wasn’t just about endurance — it was about developing an instinct for timing, risk, traffic patterns, and route planning. These are the same skills that now form the backbone of CCS’s approach to same-day courier services in Cambridge and beyond.
Working on two wheels means learning to read the road in a way few ever do. That level of awareness, planning, and resilience is embedded into how CCS now runs its operation every single day.
From London Multi-Drops to Control Room Excellence
Jan (Managing Director) followed her own path into the courier industry, taking on one of the toughest challenges in logistics: multi-drop London courier rounds.
One of her most notable roles was handling a regular Friday route, completing up to 20 deliveries in central London — including prestigious locations such as The Ritz and The Savoy.
“I was driving a 3.5 tonne long wheelbase van with up to 20 drops in London on a Friday!…I regarded this as a challenge”
Many experienced drivers actively avoided this type of work. London multi-drop routes require exceptional organisation, confidence, and route knowledge. Jan’s ability to manage that pressure is the same skillset she now applies to running CCS’s busy office with efficiency and professionalism.
Today, she plays a critical role in coordinating drivers, and ensuring every job is handled with accuracy and care.
Strengthening the Next Generation of Our Cambridge Family-Run Courier Business
Charlie (Operations Manager) is the newest member of the team, and plays a central role in the ongoing development of our Cambridge family-run courier business. Although the foundations of CCS were built through decades on the road, Charlie’s focus is on refining and strengthening the systems that support day-to-day operations.
His responsibilities include:
- Handling sales and marketing
- Overseeing compliance and documentation
- Managing driver coordination and fleet control
- Supporting process efficiency and consistency
- Improving customer communication and service standards
By combining established industry knowledge with a structured, forward-thinking approach, Charlie ensures that Cambridge Courier Services continues to evolve while maintaining the values and reliability that have defined the business for over 30 years.
This blend of tradition and modern operational management allows CCS to remain flexible, compliant, and highly responsive in an increasingly demanding logistics environment.
