Industries we move every day in Longbridge

Longbridge is synonymous with the British motor industry — the site of the former Austin and Rover plants, and still home to MG Motor UK's UK headquarters and engineering operations. The automotive and engineering supply chain that grew up around the plant continues to operate across the south Birmingham and north Worcestershire corridor, and we regularly collect time-critical components, tooling and technical documentation from these businesses. The redeveloped Longbridge Town Centre has brought new retail and commercial activity, and the ongoing mixed-use development of the former plant site supports a growing number of professional and technical businesses. We also carry for healthcare suppliers serving the network of GP practices and community health services across the B31 and B45 area.
