Delivering for Nature: How Priority Express Supports Habitat Aid’s Mission to Restore UK Biodiversity

Habitat Aid, a Somerset-based business founded in 2008, has become a leading advocate for biodiversity restoration across the UK. The company’s mission is simple but powerful: to reconnect people with the natural world by promoting and supplying native British plants and seeds – and by supporting small UK growers and conservation charities through their work.

To help bring these vital resources to customers nationwide, Habitat Aid relies on Bristol-based delivery specialists Priority Express, part of The APC Network, to ensure fast, reliable, and sustainable transport from their rural base to destinations across the UK – from Cornwall to theScottish Highlands.

“Although we’re a small business in rural Somerset it’s important to have a reach across the whole country,” said Nick Mann, founder of Habitat Aid. “Priority Express have enabled us to do exactly that. Their network gives us the reach we need, and their team’s responsiveness means we can always rely on them to keep our customers informed and happy.”

Since partnering with Priority Express, Habitat Aid has been able to streamline its distribution of native plants, trees, and seeds –ensuring time-sensitive and delicate consignments reach customers in excellent condition. This partnership has helped the company scale its environmental impact without compromising on service quality.

Neil Havill, Managing Director at Priority Express, said:

“Habitat Aid is doing something that matters far beyond business – they’re restoring the UK’s biodiversity, one delivery at a time.It’s an honour to support their mission by making sure their products arrive safely, quickly, and nationwide. Our goal has always been to combine dependable logistics with a personal touch, and that’s exactly what partnerships like this are built on.”

“One of the biggest advantages of working with Priority Express is their communication,” added Nick. “If something ever goes wrong, we hear about it straight away – and it’s fixed straight away. That kind of service makes a real difference to small businesses like ours.”

As biodiversity loss continues to pose one of the greatest global challenges, Habitat Aid’s work has never been more important. And with the support of Priority Express, their message – and their mission – can reach further than ever before.
