Olympic 2012 Logistics

The Olympic Games will take place in London between 25 July - 12 August and the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August - 9 September totaling an active period of six weeks. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will present a UK wide challenge with respect to business continuity planning and resources.

At PDP we recognise this will place a daily challenge upon our service capability, as our transport team are required to work within and around the restrictions that will be implemented during this period. PDP typically collect and deliver consignments in line with time slots that are advised by the shipper or receiver. Being mindful that some roads will be inaccessible during certain periods of time, PDP will offer alternative collection and delivery services to affected Olympic areas.

Disruption will be inevitable with road closures and restrictions around major sporting venues and in central London due to road events. Collections and deliveries on roads leading to, or surrounding the venues are expected to be affected by heavy traffic during events. The level of impact on roads varies by day, time and location.
We have been proactively formulating Olympics Delivery & Servicing Plans with our customers. If you have not contacted us yet please do so, as we would like to hear from you if you believe that the London Olympics could affect your business.

A wealth of information, advice and reference materials to help with your planning openly available from bodies such as TfL, Olympic Delivery Authority, London 2012 and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. However if we can be of service, please do not hesitate to contact us. Alternatively please follow the links below for more information.
