Its company number 04215880 shows it was registered in England and Wales, so its records are kept by Companies House in Cardiff. It has been on the register for 25 years and 5 months.

What RAPID DESPATCH LOGISTICS LTD does

On the public register, RAPID DESPATCH LOGISTICS LTD lists its activity using the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007): freight transport by road (49410).
