Rapid PCR testing - Near Stansted/Essex

We are due to go to Germany on Saturday this week, returning on Monday. My partner has to be back at work Tuesday morning, is there anywhere nearby that offers quick results with PCR testing. Collinson based at the airport offer a rapid test for departure, but on emailing them they do not offer this for arrivals (??!!). I assume we will need some sort of reference number on the PLF to prove we are doing a PCR?

Dam Health promise results back "within 24 hours", its probably near the best you are going to get.

We booked our outgoing PCR (for my children) with Collinson at their drive through testing center based in one of the Stansted car parks. They also have a walk in the terminal. Rapid PCR, 3 hours. We got the results back in approx. one hour. Wasn't the cheapest but I'd do it again as there's no worry while waiting 24hrs+ for the result.
Sorry just re-read your initial post. Randox also have a testing center on site. Haven't used them though.4 Kwp System, South Facing, 35 Degree Pitch, 16 x 250W Solarworld Panels, SMA Sunnyboy 3600 Inverter, Installed 02/09/14 in Sunny South Bedford - £5600

https://www.stanstedairport.com/coronavirus/arrivals-testing/ lists Collinson and Randox as onsite providers of arrivals tests, with links to booking engines....
Edit: as pointed out sarcastically below, this doesn't actually answer the question asked, should have read it more carefully!0 -
