Irlam coverage and response times

Hugging the Manchester Ship Canal on Salford's western edge, Irlam is exceptionally well connected. We typically collect in Irlam, Cadishead, Partington and Flixton within 30 minutes, with the M62 at Junction 11 only a few minutes away and the M60 ring close behind. That puts Manchester city centre around 25 minutes off, Warrington about 20 minutes and the M6 well within half an hour for runs north or south.

Industries we move every day in Irlam

The Northbank and Port Salford logistics zones make Irlam a genuine distribution hub. We move palletised stock between warehouses, steel and fabricated metal echoing the town's industrial heritage, manufacturing components, e-commerce consignments and time-sensitive documents for the businesses along Liverpool Road.
