We’re loving the look of the shirts with our logo on the sleeve! Thanks to basingstoke_fc for their hospitality yesterday at the home game against local rivals Bracknell. It was great to see a home win too! ⚽️ 👏🏼

We’re pleased to announce our sponsorship of Basingstoke Town Football Club for the next three seasons.

The club are entering their 130th year and with a lot of changes coming up, we’re proud to be part of the journey.

🤝 Basingstoke Town FC announce Despatch Point as new Official Sleeve Partner

Basingstoke Town Football Club is delighted to announce Despatch Point Ltd as the Club’s new Official Sleeve Partner from the 2026/27 season.

Despatch Point is a Basingstoke-based logistics and courier company that has been operating for over 30 years, offering a comprehensive range of services including air, road and sea freight, UK and international courier, dedicated vehicle and same-day delivery, and warehousing – all run from their base on the West Ham Industrial Estate in Basingstoke.

The company proudly connected Basingstoke businesses to the world, as a trusted partner for all UK and international courier and freight services. That connection between a local business and a global reach is what makes this partnership such a natural fit for the Club, which has been rooted in the town throughout our 130 year history.

Despatch Point’s logo will feature on the sleeve of the Club’s shirts for the next three seasons.

Thom Rawson, board director at Basingstoke Town FC, said:

“As we celebrate our 130th year, we’re proud to welcome Despatch Point as our new Official Sleeve Partner. This club has always been about more than football – it’s about the positive impact we can have on our community, across every age group and every level of the game. Despatch Point’s own story, connecting Basingstoke businesses to the world, reflects exactly the kind of ambition and local pride we want to be associated with. We’re looking forward to building a genuine partnership with them over the next three years.”

Chris Barnes, Company Director at Despatch Point, said:

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Basingstoke Town FC for the next three seasons and to have the Despatch Point logo proudly displayed on the Club’s shirts. As a business based in Basingstoke, we’re pleased to support a Club with such a proud history and which plays such an important role in bringing the community together. We’re especially excited to be part of the journey as the Club enters its 130th year. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with everyone involved at the Club.”

The official photographer for the day (Mike, looking at you… 😂) didn’t take many pictures at our staff BBQ recently! It was great fun in the lovely weather we are having currently with some games, good food and a catch up without the normal work talk. A few people couldn’t make it unfortunately but thank you to all of the team for your hard work as always.

Samba the Capybara who escaped from Marwell Zoo has been spotted in the back of our new electric Kia van!

We had a quick discussion about our new rate structures for this van before she made a quick dash again!

Hopefully she is found and returned safely to her sister soon 🐾

Please do enquire about our services available for this van and our other traditional options.

We would like to thank all of our staff for their service and customers for 2025, old and new. This was our best year yet and we are looking forward to 2026.

We are kick starting the year off by adding to our warehouse space and with the order of a new van after a successful demo this week.

Our UK and International Courier Service will have a wider range of carriers available to give customers more choice and with the usual integrations into our systems. The majority of carriers have updated their surcharges for 2026 and also the parameters that they apply to. We have been updating our systems behind the scenes to assist with these but please do ask us for any advice before shipping.

Our Air Freight service will continue to ship to many destinations worldwide. Our overseas agent list is growing in various countries to widen our network and these local agents can assist with any export/import shipments that may be needed. Let us know what your requirements are and we will find a solution, even if it is a hand carry or an air charter service.

Our Sea Freight service is a great option for customers who are looking to move larger shipments and when timescales aren’t so tight. We have seen a growing number of customers look at this as a viable option when ordering larger amounts of stock/equipment to ensure that they get the most for their money. We can arrange full container loads of all sizes and also consolidated services where required.

Our Dedicated Vehicle service within the UK and to/from Europe continues to grow. This is often the best option for goods that are time critical, high value or require less handling for various reasons. It can also work out more cost effective when taking everything into account. We arrange for all customs paperwork, transit documents and Carnets ourselves. A Carnet is still the best option for exhibition goods, concerts and filming as it does not require an importer on record in the destination countries and often saves time with less customs stops. This service isn’t just available for vans. We regular arrange for trucks of all shapes and sizes from a 7.5t Curtain side to Sliding Roof Trailers and even Low Deck Step Frame trailers to get around EU height restrictions.

Here are a few images from the past year. We look forward to working with you in 2026.

We’ve decided to trial a hybrid van at Despatch Point, and after two weeks… the feedback has been good! 🚐⚡️

It’s already been to Scotland and back on far less petrol than expected — yes, petrol… we’re still getting used to saying that about a van!

We’re learning as we go, figuring out how to charge it and having conversations such as ‘how do you use this thing!?’, but so far, so good.

We’ll keep you posted on how we get on!

We’re ready to go at the Basingstoke Business Expo. See you there between 1000 and 1400.
