Location still drives logistics economics
The Midlands 'golden triangle' has long been the default answer for UK warehousing, but the North West offers a genuinely competitive alternative for many businesses — particularly those serving Scotland, the North of England, Ireland via ferry ports, and international markets via Manchester Airport.
What Stockport and the North West offer
Sitting close to the M60 ring road with fast access to the M62, M6 and M56, Stockport gives efficient reach into Manchester, Liverpool, Yorkshire and North Wales, as well as Manchester Airport for international air freight connections.
- Fast motorway access to the North of England, Scotland and North Wales
- Proximity to Manchester Airport for air freight and Manchester Ship Canal/Liverpool for sea freight
- Often more competitive warehousing costs than saturated Midlands sites
- Strong regional labour market for warehouse and fulfilment operations
