CitySprint Case Studies

Edwards and Hope is an electrical supplier business based in Brighton and have been in business since 1935. The family who own it now have been running the business for the last 52 years. We sell a range of electrical goods from lightbulbs and cables to ceiling roses and metal cages.
 

We began to see an increase in demand from our customers as more and more consumers are wanting their goods delivered to them. We got in touch with CitySprint as they provided the most cost effective service in comparison to other competitors.

As public services are tasked to reduce costs, London library services have grouped to realise substantial efficiencies. The Libraries Consortium is a group of 18 London library authorities that share the same infrastructure. This allows Londoners with a library card from a listed borough to borrow books and access services in any of the libraries in the consortium – this means accessing a combined catalogue of over 7million titles.
 

 

Moving books from borough to borough is a huge task, and one that CitySprint excels in. The Libraries Consortium needed a courier company with the resources and logistical experience to develop a reliable cost effective solution, to manage the movement and storage of library books between 18 London boroughs.

Jaguar Land Rover (JRL) is the UK’s largest automotive manufacturing business, built around two iconic British car brands: Land Rover, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium all-wheel drive vehicles and Jaguar, one of the world’s premier luxury sports saloon and sports car marques. 

 

 

All of JLR’s cars are engineered and designed in the UK. While they have ambitious plans for global growth, the heart of the business remains in the Midlands. To support this expansion JLR are continuously investing in new models. This development requires the urgent movement of parts, equipment and documents.

Derriford hospital in the Southwest touches the lives of thousands in the community daily. The pharmacy is extremely busy as it supports a general hospital and numerous specialties. The pharmacy leadership wanted to better serve patients in the community and improve pharmacy efficiency through a medicine home delivery service.

 

 

CitySprint enacted a comprehensive set of bespoke operational procedures to cover all requirements which ensure the safety of the patients and security of the products being transported. CitySprint’s partnership with this NHS trust has ensured that the delivery and collection of specialist medication to patient’s homes are managed in a reliable, considerate and cost effective manner.
 

Formed in 1997, PRS for Music is the UK’s leading collection society, bringing together two collection entities: the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) and the Performing Right Society (PRS). It undertakes collective rights management for musical works on behalf of 125,000 members.
 


 

PRS for Music had a requirement for a daily scheduled, wait and return SameDay route, twice a day from their head office to another London site. They needed a partner who was flexible enough to allow for other daily ad hoc runs to London postcodes to transport important documentation in addition to base runs.
