Our founder, Tommy, spent years as Logistics Managers for various airlines and rail companies throughout the UK, coordinating hazardous materials transport for aircraft and high-speed train maintenance across Scotland and the wider UK. Time after time, he struggled to find couriers capable of same-day collection of regulated chemicals. The few options available were unreliable, non-compliant, or simply didn't understand ADR requirements. DG Express exists because Scotland deserved better. As a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA), Tommy built a courier service from the ground up – one that combines deep regulatory knowledge with the speed and reliability that B2B clients demand.

ADR Courier Compliance & Service Questions
01. Is DG Express a proper registered company?
Yes. DG Express Limited is registered in Scotland. We’re fully insured, hold a Waste Carriers License, and operate ADR-compliant vehicles with all required safety equipment.
02. How long has DG Express been operating?
DG Express is a newer company, but our expertise isn’t. Tommy brings over a decade of logistics experience from managing hazardous materials transport for high-speed rail maintenance across Scotland. We’ve built DG Express on that foundation of deep industry knowledge.
03. What qualifications does your team hold?
DGX holds both an ADR Certificate (required to transport dangerous goods) and DGSA qualification (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor). This dual certification means we can both transport your goods and provide expert compliance guidance – something most couriers can’t offer.
04. Why should I trust a smaller company over a larger logistics firm?
With DG Express, you get direct access to qualified professionals, not a call centre. Every consignment is reviewed by our DGSA personally. We’re nimble enough to offer same-day service and responsive enough to answer enquiries within 2 hours. Larger firms often can’t match that level of personal attention or speed.
05. Do you only serve large businesses?
We work exclusively with B2B clients, but that includes businesses of all sizes – from small automotive workshops needing occasional paint solvent transport to chemical distributors requiring regular scheduled collections. If you need compliant dangerous goods transport, we can help.
