Real case study

Product Guru exhibition logistics support

Problem

Product Guru required ongoing exhibition logistics support rather than help with one isolated delivery. The work has covered approximately five exhibitions per year, with event locations including Manchester, Birmingham and Paris. Repeat exhibition work creates a connected requirement: equipment needs to be stored, moved to the event and handled as part of an operation that will be used again for later dates.

Solution

Hampson & Mealey has supported Product Guru for more than three years. Services supplied have included event logistics, exhibition transport, storage support and equipment movements. Keeping those stages connected gives the customer one practical logistics relationship for recurring work instead of treating every exhibition as a completely new enquiry.

Outcome

The relationship has continued across multiple annual events in the UK and Europe. This is evidence of ongoing support for a repeat exhibition client, not a claim based on one venue delivery. It demonstrates how storage and transport can work together when exhibition equipment needs to remain organised and ready for future events.

The duration and frequency of the relationship are the important proof points: more than three years of support, approximately five exhibitions per year and work spanning Manchester, Birmingham and Paris. No individual event result or customer quotation has been added beyond those verified facts.

Electricom Group transport support

Problem

Electricom Group required additional transport support across the UK. The requirement was commercial capacity rather than a single household-style delivery: suitable trucks and drivers needed to be supplied to support the work.

Solution

Hampson & Mealey provided UK-wide transport assistance for around 8 months, including trucks and drivers for the relevant requirements. The arrangement reflects the company’s transport-first background and its ability to coordinate suitable commercial resources while maintaining a direct point of contact for the customer.

The support was described according to what was actually supplied. It did not depend on presenting every truck or driver as company-owned, and no unsupported route count, load total or invented contract history has been attached to the example.

Outcome

Electricom Group received flexible support when additional transport capacity was required. The example shows how a commercial customer can obtain trucks, drivers and wider transport assistance without the website implying that every vehicle or operator used across the service is part of a wholly company-owned fleet. It is a genuine example of capacity being supplied around a business requirement.

For businesses, the practical value is access to additional capacity through one accountable transport contact. The verified outcome is that UK-wide assistance was provided; the case study does not manufacture delivery statistics, customer quotations or a longer commercial history than the information supplied.

Broadstone office relocation

Problem

Broadstone required a commercial relocation involving approximately 60 office desks. A project of that size needed to be organised around the practical work involved rather than compressed into an unrealistic one-day promise.

Solution

Hampson & Mealey planned and carried out the relocation over two days. The work included planning, loading, transport and installation support. Breaking the project into a realistic schedule allowed the different stages to be handled as one coordinated commercial move.

The two-day programme reflected the known scale of the relocation. It allowed the approximately 60 desks and the associated work to be approached as a planned business project rather than treating the requirement as a routine one-vehicle delivery.

Outcome

The relocation was completed over the planned two-day period. It provides a genuine example of Hampson & Mealey handling a larger office project and demonstrates why commercial relocations should be scoped around the actual number of desks, access and work required. It does not imply that every office move has the same layout, staffing requirement or timetable.

No unsupported downtime figure or customer quotation is attached to the project. The verified result is the completion of the approximately 60-desk relocation over two days with planning, loading, transport and installation support included.

Urgent event equipment delivery to Exeter

Problem

Gustaf Creative Ltd contacted Hampson & Mealey late on a Friday. Six-metre poles were required in Exeter by 9am on Monday for an event and marquee or teepee installation. The length of the equipment, the short lead time and the need to protect it from the weather meant that a routine van or exposed flatbed movement was not the right answer.

Solution

The poles fitted within an enclosed six-metre trailer. This provided better protection than flatbed transport, reduced the risk of rust or weather damage and was more economical than using a truck. Collection took place on Sunday morning. A return backload was also sourced so the transport remained commercially viable while maintaining competitive customer pricing.

The selected trailer solved both the unusual length requirement and the need for enclosure. Sourcing a return load addressed the economics of the journey without changing the promised Monday delivery time.

Outcome

Delivery was completed in Exeter by 9am on Monday as agreed. The customer was very happy with the service. The job is a genuine example of rapid response, practical equipment selection and commercial planning working together to solve an urgent event-logistics requirement.

The case is reported only from the confirmed enquiry, equipment, collection and delivery details. No additional installation work, journey statistics or customer quotation has been invented.

Real case study

Storage customer saved approximately one third

Problem

The customer originally used Hampson & Mealey for a house move before the company offered self storage. Two years later, a follow-up call established that the customer still required storage and remained with a larger storage operator. An introductory offer had ended, costs had increased significantly and the customer had entered a 12-month agreement for a slightly better rate, but the ongoing storage remained expensive.

Solution

Hampson & Mealey arranged the transfer into container storage and moved the contents free of charge. The new arrangement used straightforward monthly pricing and did not require a long fixed-term commitment.

The change addressed both parts of the customer’s concern: the ongoing price and the lack of flexibility. It also avoided adding another removal charge when transferring the contents from the previous provider.

Outcome

The customer now pays approximately one third less than before and remains on flexible monthly terms. They expected to continue using storage for several years. The example demonstrates why long-term value and flexibility can matter more than a short introductory promotion, particularly when customers remain in storage much longer than first anticipated. No competitor is named.

The case remains specific to this customer and is not presented as a universal savings promise. It records the verified transfer, the approximate saving and the flexible arrangement without inventing a testimonial.
