The company specialises in the safe transportation of goods requiring special handling across the UK. In 2013, after winning a place on a CCS framework, Cheshire-based Topspeed was then appointed by the Food Standards Agency to handle the transport of its biological samples.

Topspeed features in a short film showing their experience of working with government bodies.

Levelling the playing field for SMEs

Supplier experience

“Since becoming a CCS framework supplier our company’s turnover jumped from £1.5 million to £4.5 million in just four years. At least 50% of this growth has come from contracts we have won through our place on the CCS frameworks.

We’ve been able to create 60 new jobs and invest in new processes and these have meant we’ve been able to win similar public sector contracts. It’s raised our profile and reputation and we’re approached by commercial clients who consider us because we’re on the CCS frameworks.”

Customer Testimonial

“We’ve worked together with Topspeed to find the most efficient, cost effective way of delivering the services required, and that lets FSA staff focus on other areas rather than deal with courier service issues.”
