Getting something urgent over the Pennines to Nelson today

The run from Bradford to Nelson takes 45 to 60 minutes, by Haworth and over the moor road at Two Laws to Colne, then down the last stretch of the M65. That is quick enough for a part, a set of samples or forgotten furniture to arrive the same day if the van is free. Ring with both addresses and the size of the load, and you will hear straight away whether today is possible.

On the Nelson side, the delivery end decides the timing. Lomeshaye Industrial Estate is next to junction 12, so a unit there can be reached with almost no town driving. A drop in the centre is different: the narrow streets are largely one-way, and the short-stay car parks run on a disc, so tell us the exact address and whether someone is there to sign. A photo can be sent as soon as the item is handed over.
