Vehicle Transport in Leicestershire
Leicestershire sits right in the heart of England — and the M1 runs straight through it. At about 180 miles from Devon, it's a manageable run that we make frequently. Leicester's multicultural city centre, Loughborough's university campus, the market towns of Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, and the rolling countryside of the Leicestershire Wolds — we know the county well. The M1, M69, and A46 give us excellent coverage across the entire county.
M1 Central Access
The M1 bisects Leicestershire. Junctions 20-24 serve the entire county. It's one of the most straightforward runs from Devon — M5, M42, M1, and you're there.
Leicester City Experience
Leicester's inner ring road, large South Asian community areas, and the Golden Mile require a driver who knows which routes work. We do — Leicester collections are regular for us.
University Collections
Loughborough University is one of the UK's largest campuses. Student vehicle moves at the start and end of terms are routine — we know the campus layout and the best collection times.
Market Town Coverage
Melton Mowbray (pork pies and Stilton), Market Harborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Lutterworth — Leicestershire's market towns are well-connected and pleasant collection points.
M1/M69 Junction
The M69 gives quick access to Hinckley and south-west Leicestershire. The M1/M69 junction area is a logistics hub — lots of commercial vehicle collections.
Single-Day Possible
At 180 miles, Leicestershire is comfortably achievable in a single day with an early start. Collection by late morning, back in Devon by late afternoon.
