Coordinating Out-of-Hours Deliveries for a Nationwide Bank Refurbishment Programme
Today Team supported a specialist construction contractor delivering refurbishment works across multiple bank branches nationwide, providing time-critical logistics aligned to strict schedules, security requirements and out-of-hours working.
The challenges – security, timings and access
The project involved refurbishing operational bank branches across the UK, with all work required to take place outside of opening hours.
This created several logistical challenges:
- Strict delivery windows – materials had to arrive on-site after hours.
- High security environments – access and timing had to be carefully controlled.
- Multiple collection points – materials sourced from different local suppliers.
- Urban restrictions – pedestrianised areas, limited access and unloading constraints.
- Tight project timelines – teams working overnight, often across consecutive days.
Each site required precise coordination to ensure materials were available exactly when installation teams needed them, without disrupting public access or banking operations.
The solution – specialist planned logistics
Today Team worked closely with the contractor’s project management team to plan and execute a structured, repeatable logistics approach across multiple locations.
For each site, we:
- Collected materials from multiple local suppliers (builders merchants, glass suppliers and other specialist suppliers).
- Scheduled collections throughout the day to align with supplier availability.
- Navigated rush hour traffic in major towns and cities to ensure on-time arrivals.
- Delivered materials to site after 6pm, ready for overnight installation teams.
- Used appropriate vehicles, including long wheelbase and Luton vans, to handle larger or more complex loads.
Careful planning around timing, routing and access ensured that deliveries could be completed efficiently, even in restricted or pedestrianised areas.
The result – construction work completed on schedule
By acting as a coordinated logistics partner, Today Team enabled the contractor to carry out refurbishment works across multiple bank branches on schedule and without disruption.
Materials were delivered exactly when required, allowing installation teams to complete work overnight and hand sites back ready for business the following day.
The ability to manage multi-point collections, time-sensitive deliveries and complex site access requirements was critical to the success of the project.
Trust Today Team for specialist time critical construction logistics
This type of project required more than just transport, it required planning, communication and a clear understanding of operational constraints.
“This was a complex programme with tight deadlines and multiple moving parts at each site. Today Team made it work. Everything was coordinated properly, materials arrived when they were supposed to, and the teams on site could just get on with the job. We couldn’t have delivered the programme in the same way without that level of support.”
