Life Couriers has opened a new depot in Exeter, marking a significant step in the company’s growth across the UK.
The new Direct-to-Patient logistics hub based in Greendale Park in Exeter began its first deliveries in Q4 2025. This strategic expansion allows the company to serve more patients in the South West.
A strategic move for UK operations
The new facility joins 7 other fulfilment depots which make up the Life Couriers Direct-to-Patient logistics network in the UK, providing reliable logistics support for healthcare brands, medical device manufacturers, and NHS Trusts.
The addition of this location extends Life Couriers’ service into the Devon and Cornwall area, developing our award-winning Direct-to-Patient service to provide life-enhancing and life saving healthcare products to thousands of patients in the region.
Capitalising on decades of experience in healthcare logistics, our team was able to quickly optimise this new depot to our exacting specifications to begin serving the local community. Now employing over 20 members of staff, the Exeter team comprises warehouse personnel, drivers and administrative staff, who oversee route planning and optimisation, as well as support for first-time delivery success.
Expanding our network to strengthen patient care
This depot allows us to greatly increase our coverage across the UK’s South Coast, and continue on our mission to improve the lives of patients everywhere.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to strengthening patient care by increasing accessibility and reliability of our services,” notes Peter Smith, Managing Director at Life Couriers UK. “By establishing a presence in Exeter, we can better support healthcare providers and ultimately improve outcomes for patients who depend on these deliveries for day-to-day health and wellbeing.”
