A “family-run” UK haulage and logistics company has fallen into liquidation after more than 13 years in business.
Q Delivery Services was established in 2013 and described itself as an “end-to-end logistics company” offering haulage and warehousing across the UK.
The company operated a modern fleet of vehicles, offering part or full loads, next-day and same-day delivery, and Saturday services.
A few of our vehicles all washed and ready to hit the road tomorrow morning for a very busy week!! @QDS_UK @mantruckbusuk https://t.co/TF4yjlPoHr

Warehousing services were also offered across the UK, with options for short and long-term storage, stock management, and pick-and-pack order fulfilment for local deliveries.
Q Delivery Services also highlighted its commitment to customer service, promising a flexible, reliable, and professional approach.
The award-winning company, based in Widnes and Bedford, had grown to become “one of the United Kingdom’s premier logistics providers”.
