Barton upon Irwell coverage and response times

Sitting beside the Manchester Ship Canal and the Barton Bridge, this corner of Salford is hard to beat for connections. We collect across Barton, Eccles, Patricroft and Winton within about 30 minutes and reach Urmston, Stretford and Trafford Park soon after. Junction 11 of the M60 is right alongside, feeding the M62, M602 and M61, so consignments can be moving toward Liverpool, Leeds or the south within minutes. Manchester city centre is around 15 minutes away.

Industries we move every day in Barton upon Irwell

With Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — right across the canal, this area is dominated by logistics, manufacturing, food production and engineering. We carry pallets, machine parts, packaging and project freight for these operations daily, and the nearby City Airport (Barton Aerodrome) and ship canal add a steady flow of time-critical work.
