Announcing our charity partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support
Earlier this year we Recently we asked our staff to vote on our 2025 charity partner, and the team overwhelmingly voted for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We are delighted to be fundraising for such a fantastic charity who are doing incredible work to support cancer patients and their families across the UK.
Our teams across the UK have already begun to plan a variety of fundraisers throughout the year, including taking part in the Great South Run and a 26-mile hike across the Yorkshire Dales.
Completing the rebranding of all our depots
Back in February our Luton depot had their signage changed to reflect the company’s rebrand under the global Life Couriers banner.
Our Luton depot was the final UK location to undergo this change and we’re delighted to be moving forward with a cohesive brand identity across all of our UK depots.
Radiopharma Coming Soon to Our Healthcare Offerings
2025 proves to be an exciting one for Life Couriers UK as we expand on our current Direct-to-Patient offering. To compliment our award-winning service and the operational excellence that drives us forward we will soon be mobilising an operation dedicated to the pickup and delivery of Radiopharmaceuticals.
We’ve been working incredibly hard behind-the-scenes to ensure we can deliver this service with the same care and effectiveness that we have in all other areas of the business and maintain the same high standard of our patient-led approach.
The application of Radiopharmaceuticals is key in both the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in particular. However, given their short half-life, transporting these materials involves complex logistical challenges that demand swift delivery, rigorous safety protocols, and flawless execution.
To facilitate our work in this field, we’ve drawn upon the expertise of the Life Couriers global group, boasting a combined 75 years of experience in the transportation of Radiopharma. We look forward to the challenges this brings with the overall aim to improve the lives of those who need it the most.
