Hub and Spoke Model

Each of our two networks (APC & Fortec) operates a hub and spoke model. This allows us to offer a nationwide delivery and collection service throughout the UK &Ireland. Our strategically based depots will collect freight from customers and deliver it to the hub. There it is sorted and loaded onto the vehicle of the network member responsible for the destination postcode. Through this efficient network, customers are able to send consignments ranging from single parcles to multi pallet consignments, anywhere within the UK or Europe.
