Meet our team of passionate, experienced and dedicated team of professionals that have been working in logistics and time-critical courier services for many years.
Steve Mellor, Owner & Director
Steve is responsible for the overall strategy and development of the business, as well as acquiring new clients.
He joined the business back in 2015 after a career working as a hospital porter. It was during this time that the business changed strategic direction; moving from a traditional courier company to offering a more tailored, time-critical and personal approach. In 2017, Steve was appointed General Manager and in 2020 acquired 50% of the business. Since then, he has been instrumental in creating a new business strategy which has resulted in exponential growth during a very short space of time.
In 2021, Send Direct moved to new premises right next to Manchester Airport, a decision which he felt was important to accommodate future growth and help maintain their allegiance with the aviation sector and critical Aircraft on the Ground (AOG) services.
Steve is passionate about building Send Direct’s reputation in the industry, delivering within rigorous timescales which can not be achieved with traditional courier solutions.
Bob Mellor, Office Manager
Bob has been with Send Direct since the inception of the company back in 1998. He began his career as a driver and then progressed to Transport Manager. This gave him first-hand experience of dealing with clients and understanding the logistics for time-critical deliveries which he now applies to the business today.
Bob’s role is now office-based and he is often the first point of call for clients, many of whom have worked with him for a long time and rely on Bob for his trusted, helpful and friendly advice. He is committed to delivering a very personal and approachable service from point of booking, through to delivery and ensure all customers have a positive experience.
