We collect from across Portishead — the marina, town centre, Gordano, and Harbour Road — as well as nearby Pill, Clevedon, and Nailsea. The M5 at Junction 19 is under 2 miles from central Portishead, giving rapid access to Bristol (Junction 18, approximately 9 miles) and the motorway network beyond. From the M5 we connect to the M4 within 15 minutes for London-bound journeys, or continue south to Weston-super-Mare and Exeter. Bristol Airport is around 15 miles to the south via the M5 and A38.

Portishead has grown significantly as a business destination, particularly around the marina development and along the Harbour Road corridor. We carry documents and equipment for professional services and financial firms that have chosen Portishead for its quality of life and M5 access, collect from the Portbury Docks area nearby for freight forwarding and import/export businesses, and serve construction contractors with urgent material deliveries across the BS20 area.
