About Safe Hands
Sole trader. Ex-HGV driver. Biker of over 30 years. Someone who actually gives a damn about your delivery.
The Person Behind the Van
Safe Hands is me — a sole trader with years of professional driving experience behind me, including time as a fully licensed HGV driver. I've spent my career moving goods across the UK and Ireland, and I know what it takes to do it properly.
I set up Safe Hands because I saw a gap. People buying on Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree were stuck — either hiring a van they didn't know how to drive, relying on sellers to deliver, or paying over the odds for couriers who didn't care. I wanted to offer something better: a reliable, insured, professional service that treats your purchase like it matters.
When you book with Safe Hands, you're not dealing with a call centre or a faceless logistics company. You're dealing with me, directly. I'll give you a straight answer, a fair price, and I'll get your item there safely.
Your Bike Is in Biker's Hands
I've been riding for over 30 years — from mopeds to Busas, I've owned and ridden them all. That means when your bike comes into my care, I treat it exactly as I'd treat my own. Every motorcycle is loaded with fitted wheel chocks and handlebar supports, padded throughout with non-scratch blankets, and strapped securely before we move an inch. Whether it's a 50cc learner bike or a litre-class superbike, it gets the same level of respect and care.
