ASK4 COURIERS

What ASK4 COURIERS does

ASK4 COURIERS is a UK-based specialised courier and logistics company operating as a trading name of KJS UK Services Ltd., a private limited company registered in England (company no. 11067295, VAT no. 382799732). Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chesterfield, the company provides same-day, next-day, express, overnight, scheduled, and white-glove delivery services for parcels and pallets, plus storage and specialist handling. It serves business customers across eight sectors — telecommunications, automotive, construction, manufacturing, medical, e-commerce/retail, corporate events, and printing/advertising — with operational coverage spanning England and Scotland from seven locations (Chesterfield HQ, secondary Chesterfield site, Basingstoke, Worksop, Widnes, Glasgow, and the newly opened Nottingham office).

The company operates a diversified fleet ranging from small vans (400kg payload) to articulated trucks (26 tonnes, 26 pallets), supplemented by specialised equipment including HIAB cranes, mobile fork trucks, powered stair climbers, hydraulic lifters, UTVs/ATVs, and tracked carriers for off-road and challenging deliveries. Its technology stack comprises a logistics management platform with 24/7 real-time shipment tracking, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), and route-optimisation tools, backed by £50,000 Goods in Transit Insurance and £5 million Public Liability Insurance. The business has obtained ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and SafeContractor accreditations, all achieved in-house during 2025.

The business model is transaction-fee based with custom quote-based pricing, distributed through direct sales channels (phone, email, website quote form, 24/7 support) targeting enterprise and mid-market business customers. With a reported headcount of five, no disclosed external funding, and reliance on a sales-led motion, ASK4 COURIERS leverages its multi-location operational footprint, recent Nottingham expansion (November 2024), and a newly announced strategic marketing partnership with RIGHT Brand Marketing LTD (May 2025) to drive growth across specialised logistics verticals.
