OUR STORY
SPEED ISN'T JUST A WORD ON THE SIDE OF A VAN.
We have been around for a long time,
not as long as some things have,
but long enough to know how to do what we do
better than a lot of others do.
We are a Sameday Courier Company
that collects whatever you want us to collect,
whenever you want us to collect it,
and then delivers it whenever you want it delivered,
wherever you want it delivered to.
And we do that today, the Sameday, without delay.
You pay for a dedicated Courier and you get a dedicated Courier.
Speed Couriers make moving things look easy,
because moving things is easy.
We never over complicate what we do,
because what we do isn't complicated.
We are Sameday Couriers that deliver the same day.
There, how complicated is that?
WE'VE ALWAYS STRIVED TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT LOOK EASY AND THE COMPLICATED LOOK SIMPLE.
NO COMPLICATIONS. NO EXCUSES.
NO COMPLICATIONS. NO EXCUSES.
THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT SPEED
MORRICE WELLS
CO-FOUNDER
A Business Built Around People
Long before websites, online booking systems and automated quotations, Speed Couriers was built on a simple belief: there is nearly always a better way of doing things.
For Morrice Wells, that meant putting people first.
Morrice brought to the business a deeply held belief in fairness, compassion and respect for others, regardless of their background, circumstances or beliefs.
He believed customers deserved honesty, reliability and a company prepared to go the extra mile to solve their problems.
But he believed just as strongly that the couriers carrying out those promises deserved the same consideration.
They weren't simply drivers or vehicles on a job sheet.
They were people.
With families, responsibilities and lives beyond the working day.
Morrice understood that.
And he frequently went far beyond what anyone might reasonably expect to help them.
Years later, it's not the deliveries people remember most about him.
It's his kindness, his humility and the way he treated them.
That says rather more about the foundations of Speed Couriers than any corporate mission statement ever could.
Because looking after the people who deliver the service is every bit as important as looking after the people who use it.
And that belief remains central to how we operate today.
The technology has changed.
The industry has changed.
We've changed.
But one thing that won't ever change is the principles on which the business was built.
Although he later retired, his influence remained part of the business.
Morrice passed away on 15 September 2026.
Exactly 28 years to the day since Speed first opened its doors.
His last day, but his legacy lives on.
His contribution remains a lasting part of our story.
Respond. React. Resolve. Respect.

The Principles Continue
Ours is a reactive industry, so we can't predict what the day will bring, but we can decide how we respond to it.
Plans change, problems arise, and the unexpected is often the only thing you can reliably expect.
And that's precisely what makes it interesting (and challenging).
My father believed there was nearly always a better way of doing things.
I've never seen any reason to stop looking for one.
The courier industry has changed enormously since we started.
The maps that once covered our office walls have given way to digital routing, online bookings and technology that would have seemed unimaginable in those early years.
And we've changed with it.
But I've never believed that progress means replacing personal service with technology.
The two should work together.
After all, when something goes wrong, customers don't want to hear about systems, processes or procedures.
They want somebody who understands the problem, takes responsibility and gets on with sorting it out.
That's always been my approach.
Answer quickly. Communicate honestly. Find a solution.
And once you've trusted us with your delivery, I believe you should be able to stop thinking about it.
Because that's what you're really buying.
Peace of mind.
“Speed isn't a promise,
it's a state of mind.”
