Astley coverage and response times

From Astley a driver is usually with you within 30 minutes, with Tyldesley and Atherton 5 to 10 minutes away and Leigh around 10. The A580 East Lancashire Road runs right past the village, giving fast access to the M60 and M61 and on to the M6, so Manchester, Bolton, Warrington and the wider North West are all quickly reachable for same day work.

Industries we move every day in Astley

This corner of Wigan borough has a strong logistics and distribution base, with warehousing around Leigh and Tyldesley, alongside manufacturing and engineering firms. We move production parts and spares, e-commerce and pallet stock, automotive components and urgent documents for the area's many small and mid-sized businesses.
