ADR-Certified Dangerous
Goods Transport Across
The UK
DG Express was founded to solve a problem most Scottish businesses don’t know they have – finding a courier who can actually, legally transport dangerous goods.
Our founder, Tommy, spent years as Logistics Managers for various airlines and rail companies throughout the UK, coordinating hazardous materials transport for aircraft and high-speed train maintenance across Scotland and the wider UK. Time after time, he struggled to find couriers capable of same-day collection of regulated chemicals. The few options available were unreliable, non-compliant, or simply didn’t understand ADR requirements. DG Express exists because Scotland deserved better. As a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA), Tommy built a courier service from the ground up – one that combines deep regulatory knowledge with the speed and reliability that B2B clients demand.

You get a qualified DGSA reviewing your consignment, proper documentation, compliant packaging guidance, and the peace of mind that your hazardous materials are being handled legally and safely.
ADR Courier Compliance & Service Questions
01.
Is DG Express a proper registered company?
Yes. DG Express Limited is registered in Scotland. We’re fully insured, hold a Waste Carriers License, and operate ADR-compliant vehicles with all required safety equipment.
02.
How long has DG Express been operating?
DG Express was established in 2020 and has been providing specialist dangerous goods courier services across Scotland ever since. Our founder brings years of prior experience in aviation and rail logistics, coordinating hazardous materials transport for airlines and high-speed rail maintenance across the UK.
03.
What qualifications does your team hold?
Our team includes a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) and all drivers are ADR-certified for the transport of dangerous goods. We are also members of the British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals (BADGP), ensuring we stay current with the latest regulatory requirements.
04.
Why should I trust a smaller company over a larger logistics firm?
Because we specialise exclusively in dangerous goods. Larger logistics firms often subcontract hazardous loads or lack in-house ADR expertise. At DG Express, every driver is ADR-trained, every vehicle is purpose-equipped, and our DGSA personally reviews consignments. You get direct access to specialist knowledge, faster response times, and the accountability that comes with a focused, owner-operated service.
05.
Do you only serve large businesses?
Not at all. We work with businesses of every size, from garden centres and auto paint shops to large chemical distributors and aviation operators. Whether you need a one-off same-day delivery or a regular contract route, we tailor our service to fit your needs and volume.
