Don't leave it to chance when sending a parcel to Liverpool

When a parcel needs to get to Liverpool, there are plenty of willing international couriers ready to put themselves in the spotlight and take on the job. The name of Liverpool has become known all over the world. Its cultural heritage is appreciated across the globe, and it is one of the most visited cities in the UK.

Liverpool's prosperity is due to its roots as an important port, involved in trade from Ireland, mainland Europe and the West Indies. Such was the importance of the city as a port that about 40 per cent of the world's trade passed through Liverpool in its heyday in the early 19th century. The port remains an important contributor to the city's economy, despite it having long surrendered its prime position in UK trade, and slipping to seventh position in the ranking of the UK's busiest ports. Its importance is still acknowledged, though, with a couple of major worldwide shipping companies having their UK bases in the city.

While the city experienced large-scale unemployment and deprivation in the 1980s and early 1990s, major investment in its infrastructure has helped spark a revival since then, and now its economy is one of the fastest growing in the United Kingdom. Local and national government, tourism, education, health, retail, banking and insurance are all major sources of employment, while the city's rich architectural heritage has contributed to it becoming the second most filmed city in the UK after London.

Tourism brings about 1.3billion into the local economy every year, and major attractions such as the Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, and the more recently completed Liverpool One shopping development each bring many visitors to the city. It is little known that Liverpool also boasts one of the highest number of remaining Georgian houses in the UK, while Albert Dock has more Grade 1 listed buildings than anywhere else in Britain.

The M62 east-west motorway across the Pennines serves many of the north of England's principal towns and cities and ends just outside the city, making access to Liverpool easy for the principal worldwide delivery companies. John Lennon International Airport, seven miles south-east of the city at Speke, is largely a base for charter airlines, but provides easy access into the city from across Europe and beyond. Liverpool has always thrived on the ease with which trade and business can be done from the city, and it remains so today, except that now, the carriers use much faster forms of transport than the old steam ships.

The massive resources of the leading international couriers are close at hand to help anyone who needs to send a parcel to Liverpool. Their services can be easily compared by going online.
