Stoke-on-Trent is a fifty-five minute run from CourierFly's Birmingham base up the M6. The Potteries — Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton — form a genuinely unique manufacturing economy centred on ceramics, and the wider North Staffordshire industrial base is anchored by JCB at Rocester, Michelin, Bet365 and Steelite. It is a city with a lot of parts, prototypes and moulds to move.

"When we're prototyping a new range we need the sample kiln fire back on the buyer's desk in London the same day. CourierFly is the only courier that can pick up in Longton at midday and deliver in W1 before close." — Design Director, tableware brand, Stoke-on-Trent
