Dixons Dispatch

Modernising a 40-year NHS medical courier from a 32-bit database to website, CRM & driver app.

A family courier firm that has carried radioactive and medical consignments for the NHS for over 40 years, being sold short by a dated listing site and run out of a 32-bit database with no future. We rebuilt both ends: a website that wins the specialist work, and a bespoke operations platform that runs the business behind it.

01 · The Challenge

Where friction was costing momentum before the rebuild.

01

40+ years of high-stakes NHS reputation sold short by a dated listing site

Hospital procurement and specialist medical senders could not see Dixons’ unmatched track record online.

02

Critical dispatch operations trapped on an obsolete 32-bit database

Running regulated medical and radioactive consignments on unsupported 32-bit software posed escalating downtime risk.

02 · Our Approach

What we changed, engineered, and shipped cleanly.

01

Commercial medical & specialist courier website

Built a crisp, trustworthy digital flagship designed to win regulated healthcare and urgent logistics contracts.

02

Custom Operations CRM + mobile Driver App

Migrated dispatch logic off the 32-bit database into a modern browser Operations CRM paired cleanly with a field Driver App.

03 · The Work

Built for desktop clarity and thumb-first mobile conversion.

The Blood Clinic UK — Systems & Platforms
Systems & Platforms

The Blood Clinic UK

A private blood testing clinic running on three outsourced plugins and around seven thousand lines of code nobody could safely touch. Bookings hung, results were hard to read, and a medical PDF could be downloaded by anyone who guessed the link. We rebuilt the whole thing: the booking engine, the patient portal, the reporting, the lab connection and the back office the owner runs it from.

Christmas Tree Collections

Christmas Tree Collections picks up Christmas trees from outside people's houses every January, across Sheffield and Rotherham. It's run by Joel Berry of Berry's Trees and Gardens and Mitchel Ingham of JM Trees and Groundcare, for Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity, and since 2018 it has raised £129,355. Bookings open once a year and the whole season goes through one website, so we rebuilt it around getting every booking right. Joel's list came in on 29 October and the new site went live on 4 November, with bookings open the same minute.

Harcon Solutions

Harcon Solutions are a specialist consultancy for construction, engineering and the railway, trading since 2017 with over 50 years of combined experience between them. Their old WordPress site looked the part but made people work to get in touch. We rebuilt it from scratch on their own look: 24 pages, Railway Asset Protection first, an enquiry form on every service page, and every old link still landing in the right place.
