A SPECIALIST transport company has expanded to new bigger premises.

Topspeed Couriers have moved from their operations hub on the Parkgate Industrial Estate in Knutsford to a 26,000 sq ft unit on Winsford Industrial Estate.

As a specialist courier on the Crown Commercial Service Framework, Topspeed have grown their organisation transporting sensitive, forensic and dangerous goods from a £1.5 million turnover business to £4.5 million in just four years.

The firm works for public sector organisations including Defra, The Home Office, Ministry of Defence and the NHS.

Their private sector work includes clients from manufacturing, engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Managing director Dave Turner said: “We were sad to leave Knutsford after almost seven years, however our new operations hub in Winsford will enable us to continue to provide a UK service and give us the opportunity to further grow.

"By staying in Cheshire we have been able to retain our valued team and continue to benefit from the extensive road and motorway infrastructure that runs through our county.

"We are looking forward to meeting our neighbours over the coming weeks and months as we settle into our new home in Winsford.”

Topspeed was founded in Alderley Edge in 1985 by chief executive officer Steve Clegg. The company spent some time in Macclesfield andHigher Poynton before relocating to Knutsford.

Andy Devaney, business and innovation director at Cheshire and Warrington Growth Hub, said “Topspeed Couriers are a classic Cheshire success story and it is fantastic that they have decided to continue their growth journey in Winsford.

"The Cheshire and Warrington Growth Hub look forward to working with Topspeed alongside the business team at Cheshire West and Chester Council to support them in their new location.”
