What's in scope (and what isn't)
We'd rather be honest about boundaries than win a job we can't do properly.

- Stand crates, panels, banners, POS, product samples

FAQs
Can you hit a specific NEC docking slot from Basingstoke?▼
Yes — we book the slot to the driver's ETA. Direct van means no depot delay, so we quote a firm slot at booking.
What about teardown at 11pm on the last day?▼
Late collections and out-of-hours teardown are standard on this service. Priced with a small OOH uplift.
Do you supply forklift or rigging at the venue?▼
No — that's usually the venue's contracted drayage team. We deliver to the docking bay; they take it from there.
Are you insured?▼
Yes — up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed before the first job.
Can I open a business account?▼
Yes. 5-minute application, subject to credit check. Book against a PO, get one consolidated invoice per month, 30-day terms.
How fast can you collect?▼
Urgent collection is typically 60–90 minutes from booking, depending on driver position. Flexi7 covers collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where suitable and available.
