Logistics Link North
Doncaster is set in the heart of the UK, the perfect location for any distribution company. The M18, A1(M) and M180 national motorways provide eight key junctions within the borough, and the M62 and M1 are also in close proximity.
Fast emerging as the logistics capital of the North, distribution sites are extremely dominant and their popularity has grown over the last decade, producing some of the largest units in the Yorkshire region.
Many UK distribution occupiers are relocating to the North, to make sure they get more for their money - especially in this economic climate. Rent and labour costs are some of the most affordable in the country and with limited space in southern regions; the Doncaster area has the room for growth.
Two of the most influential locations for the logistics sector in Doncaster are West Moor Park and Redhouse Interchange, both adjacent to major motorway junctions and boasting big names such as Ikea, Next, Asda and B&Q distributions centres.
Located just off J3 of the M18 are Traxpark and First Point home to a number of large distribution facilities including Unilever, Wincanton and Doncaster International Railport. The Railport serves commerce and industry across the North. It offers direct access to the East Coast Main Line, Humber Ports and the Channel Tunnel, with daily services running between Doncaster and the Port of Felixstowe.
Robin Hood Airport (Doncaster Sheffield) is the UK’s newest international airport. Opened in 2005, the 880 acre airport infrastructure includes one of the largest runway’s in the north of England measuring 2,891 metres x 60 metres and is easily capable of accepting long haul wide body aircraft including 747’s, An-124’s and the new A380.
Robin Hood Airports modern facilities, complimented by large freight aircraft capabilities, make it the airport of choice for all air cargo needs.
