Who we serve
Staff transport for every sector, shift and site.
RideTandem runs fully managed staff transport for industrial, corporate and education employers across the UK and Germany. Tech-enabled shuttles fill shifts public transport can't reach, cut Scope 3 Category 7 emissions by up to 23 cars per bus, and give HR and ESG teams auditable reporting in one Client Hub.
The market we work in
The commute is now a labour, climate and cost problem for every UK employer.
Industrial staff transport
Modern logistics parks, factories and farms cluster where the land is cheap: almost always somewhere a bus doesn't run. Add antisocial shift starts, agency-heavy multilingual workforces and seasonal peaks, and transport quietly becomes the #1 controllable cause of unfilled shifts.
We run fully managed shuttles for warehouses, factories and farms across the UK and Germany, covering 04:00 starts, night shifts and harvest peaks public transport can't touch.
Warehousing
DCs, fulfilment centres, 3PLs and cold storage. Agency-heavy, peak-driven, with 70% of UK warehouses reporting shortages at peak.

Factories
Food, FMCG, automotive and plastics. 24/7 multilingual workforces with rota-driven boarding and a 9-language passenger app.

Agriculture
Soft-fruit, pack-houses, glasshouses and cooperatives. Accommodation-to-field shuttles built around harvest peaks.
Learn moreCorporate staff transport
Three pressures have converged for HR, ESG and Facilities teams in 2025–26: commuter fatigue is undermining return-to-office mandates, Scope 3 Cat 7 disclosure is no longer optional under SECR and CSRD, and almost every new corporate site has capped parking by planning consent.
RideTandem turns the commute into a measurable benefit. One shuttle bus takes ~23 commuter cars off the road, frees parking, and produces audit-grade journey-level emissions data.
Education transport
Schools, colleges and universities are balancing safeguarding, SEND statutory duty, tight budgets and sustainability targets, usually with a patchwork of operators and a coordinator drowning in spreadsheets.
RideTandem replaces that patchwork with a single managed service. DBS-checked drivers, live boarding for parent and college peace of mind, and one invoice, across primary, secondary, FE and HE.
What every client gets
What every RideTandem client gets, whatever the sector.
Fully managed service
Drivers, vehicles, scheduling, 24/7 live ops, onboarding and reporting, all handled by us, not you.
Capacity that flexes
Scale vehicle size up for Black Friday, harvest or Freshers; scale down in quiet weeks. Pay for what you actually use.
9-language Rider App
EN, PL, RO, PT, ES, LT, LV, BG, DE: the only UK staff transport provider offering this natively.
Audit-ready Scope 3 data
Category 7 Employee Commuting exports in a GHG Protocol / SECR / CSRD-compatible format. Not a survey estimate.
Works at 04:00 and 22:00
Every shift pattern, every shift-changeover, every weekend peak, including shifts public transport can't serve.
Vetted operator network
We don't own buses - we orchestrate a UK-wide network of over 2,000 DBS-checked, PSV-licensed operators.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Industrial (warehousing, factories, agriculture), corporate (recruitment agencies, corporations) and education (schools, colleges, universities) across the UK and Germany. Full sector list and case studies live on the sector pages above.
Yes. Every service is built around your actual shift plan. The DfT National Travel Survey 2024 confirms 66% of English commutes are by car precisely because public transport doesn't run when most shifts start or finish: that's the gap our network fills.
Public transport is fixed: fixed routes, fixed timetables, fixed stops. A RideTandem shuttle is dedicated to your site, built around your shifts, and flexes vehicle size and frequency as your headcount changes.
It's managed end-to-end, so you aren't coordinating operators, drivers or passenger issues: one supplier, one invoice, one dashboard.
Yes. Employee commuting (Scope 3 Category 7) typically accounts for 10–30% of a company's footprint (GHG Protocol). Every RideTandem bus takes an average of 23 single-occupancy cars off the road.
The Client Hub produces a GHG Protocol-aligned report covering shuttle journeys that your assurance team can sign off, usable for SECR, CSRD ESRS E1, CDP and IFRS S2 filings.
Typically 75+ workers at a single site is where a dedicated shuttle pays back fastest, but we also serve multi-site clients with smaller routes. For sites under SECR threshold (250+ staff / £36m turnover / £18m balance sheet), we're often the path to a first-ever auditable commuting baseline.
