I should have seen it coming

I didnt notice it was the last day of the quarter, always a favorite for deliveries to companies house. Customer informed us it had to be there for 5pm as they close but it may not be ready til quite late, now Companies House London has recently moved to a building behind Victoria Street in SW1 but previously at their old building they allowed submissions to be posted through their letterbox after the office closes at 5pm and right up until midnight after which the post is cleared and all further post is then considered delivered on the next working day Monday.
On our first trip to Companies House we established that the after hours posting is also the case at the new building, and also learnt that the Cardiff office is open tomorrow and submission would still be in time at this office, our customer was very relieved and has now booked a a bike to take documnets to Cardiff tomorrow so a small amount of work on our part has rewarded us with another booked job on a Saturday!

The first call of the day saw one of our motorbike couriers heading up to Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire for some urgent  personal property to go to Yorkshire, an excellent response time was achieved and the biker was quickly en route for Sheffield despite the poor weather he was there and delivered in 90 minutes from collection, customer was very pleased and has now requested to open a 30 day account. Another bike was pre booked yesterday so was already on the road heading to a Lawyers in Mayfair the heart of London's west end, once delivered the biker headed over to Victoria for a visa collection for another of our customers.
The returning bike from Sheffield called into Northampton on the way back to complete one of our long standing regular non cash banking runs which heads into Milton Keynes, conviently slotting in our very short run into the middle of that.


The Van was also busy today with deliveries into London and a collection of the exhibition boards we took down last night, unfortunately the collection time of 4pm on a Friday places the van on one of the major exit routes the A41 from London in rush hour, after taking nearly an hour to reach the bottom of the M1 the rest of the journey back to Milton Keynes was relatively jam free and rolling along at a constant speed and the boards were delieverd into our customers premises  just 2 hours after collection on a Friday evening.
