• Magazine distributor Time Sensitive Deliveries is asking local-based hauliers to tender for regional contracts to deliver up to 300 titles in a next-day service to be launched in the spring.
The company, set up this
year by sister firm Magazine Distribution, is aiming for the "300 time-sensitive" publications — those titles which depend on appearing in newsagents on a set day each week, most of which are delivered by rail.
Its delivery network is based around 35 local areas, centred on Hoddesdon, near London. The company is about to clinch deals with around 10 operators, but hopes to attract about 20 more. Deliveries are next day, with a more expensive same-day option.
When Magazine Distribution was established in 1986, it handled 60 tonnes of magazines a week from three customers. Now it delivers 900 tonnes for 16 publishers, including Magnum, Marshall Cavendish and This England. Both companies are based at Rye Park Industrial Estate, Hoddesdon, Herts EN11 OEL.
