ADR Transport & Logistics
When your compliance solution needs physical movement — fully compliant ADR transport with qualified drivers and complete documentation.
Important: Using standard couriers for dangerous goods can result in non-compliance with ADR and CDG 2009. Ensure your transport arrangements are fully compliant.
Compliance-Led Transport
Our transport service exists because we understand that compliance doesn't stop at the advisory stage. When your dangerous goods need to move — whether it's laboratory chemicals, medical gases, hazardous waste, or industrial materials — the transport itself must be fully compliant with ADR and CDG 2009.
Unlike standard courier or logistics providers, DG-Express provides transport as an extension of our compliance consultancy. Every movement is planned, documented, and executed by specialists who understand the regulations — because we are the compliance advisers.

We understand the compliance requirements because we are the compliance specialists.
