Burslem coverage and response times

Burslem, the “Mother Town” of the Potteries, sits close to the A500 “D-road” linking the six towns to junctions 15 and 16 of the M6. We're usually with you within 30 minutes, whether at the town centre, Middleport or the industrial units along the canal. The M6 is around 10 minutes away, Manchester roughly an hour, and Birmingham about 50 minutes for onward same-day delivery.

Industries we move every day in Burslem

Burslem remains a heartland of ceramics and tableware, and we regularly carry fragile pottery, kiln parts and decorating supplies. We also serve local engineering and tooling firms, packaging and distribution businesses, and the automotive and rubber-and-plastics sectors across the city.
