Case Study: Cambridge Courier Supporting Theatre Production
Cambridge Courier Services is a long-established Cambridge family-run courier business providing reliable, time-critical, same-day delivery solutions to businesses across Cambridgeshire and the UK. Over more than 30 years, CCS has built strong, long-term relationships by offering a responsive, professional and flexible courier service – even for complex and last-minute jobs.
One such long-standing customer is Set-Up (Scenery) Ltd, a specialist manufacturer of bespoke theatre scenery based in Meldreth, Hertfordshire. Their work supports major cultural institutions including West End producers, The National Theatre, The Royal Opera House, Garsington and Glyndebourne.
The Challenge
Set-Up (Scenery) Ltd frequently needs to transport:
- Bulky, oversized and awkwardly shaped items
- Time-critical stage scenery and components
- Specialist loads requiring careful handling
- Deliveries to venues across the UK, often at short notice
These collections and deliveries can change rapidly, with tight deadlines and complex logistics. A standard parcel carrier simply is not suitable.
They required a reliable same-day courier in Cambridge who could respond quickly, adapt to changing schedules, and ensure items arrived safely, on time, and in perfect condition.
The Solution
Cambridge Courier Services provided:
- Fast same-day collections from Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire
- A range of suitable vehicle types for large and unusual loads
- Experienced, professional drivers familiar with time-critical deliveries
- Direct communication with CCS control, ensuring constant updates
Through CCS’s responsive control room and driver network, Set-Up (Scenery) Ltd receives a dependable and consistent service, even when requests are made at extremely short notice.
