Auch ihre Sendungen für die angrenzenden Länder erreichen ihren Bestimmungsort vor 08.00 Uhr am Folgetag. Unterstützt durch ein hochentwickeltes, auf Kolli-Ebene basierendes Track & Trace System mit Echtzeit-Sendungsverfolgung, erfolgt die ordnungsgemäße Verbringung in definierte ***Nachtdepots*** (Garage, Lagerhalle, Box, Technikerfahrzeug etc.) durch geschultes Personal.

Nachtzustellung ist Vertrauenssache! Deshalb legen wir größtmöglichstes Augenmerk auf die Einhaltung unserer Qualitätsrichtlinien. Unterstützt durch die Technik wird Transparenz und pro-aktives Handeln großgeschrieben.

neutral Lancashireman : Night Depot Supervisor: The depot in Milton Keynes operates 24 hours a day and the vacancy is for someone to work the night shift. This does not tie in with "Garage, Lagerhalle, Box, Technikerfahrzeug etc".
