Businesses And Individuals Have Been Going Places In Salford

There is a wide range of options available to anyone who needs to send a parcel to Salford

, depending on the urgency of the delivery and the senders budget. The city of Salford is synonymous with the Industrial Revolution, and became known worldwide through the paintings of L S Lowry, who depicted the area and its mills and factories in many of his best-known works.

Salford was also an important centre of water-borne traffic during the heyday of canal and river transport. Its docks provided a vital link between the cities of Manchester and Salford and the Irish Sea.

They are also the most prominent symbol of the resurgence of Salford in its post-industrial era, as the site of Salford Quays, which today is a massive commercial centre providing jobs for more than 10,000 people, chiefly in retail, construction and e-commerce. The Quays, and the wider area of Salford, are experiencing considerable interest in the wake of the decision by the BBC to relocate several of its most important departments to the area. This will create an estimated 15,500 jobs, and bring up to 1billion into the economy of the north-west over five years.

Salford adjoins neighbouring Manchester, and over several centuries, a keen rivalry has evolved between the two cities, in the process of them fighting to establish distinct identities. Salford covers an area of 37 square miles, from densely-populated inner-city areas to prosperous suburbs, which are home to approximately 220,000 people. Salford has a university which offers courses and research facilities for 19,000 students, and faculties of Arts, Media and Social Sciences, Business, Law and the Built Environment, Health and Social Care, and Science, Engineering and Environment.

Parcel delivery and express courier services cover all parts of Salford, and are helped considerably in their job by its good road, rail and air connections. The city lies on the A6 Roman road between London and Carlisle, while traffic from all parts of the UK easily reaches the area using the M62 Liverpool to Hull motorway and the M60 orbital route around Manchester. Manchester Airport, the largest airport in the UK outside London, is also easily reached from the city.

There are many fast routes to get a parcel to Salford from anywhere in the UK, and countries beyond. And with the city experiencing a new phase in its growth, there is sure to be increasing demand for the services of delivery companies which link to all parts of the city.
