Cardiff was put on the map when it became an important port for the export of Welsh coal in the 19th century, and it was made a city only in the early 20th century. Since then, however, it has come to be recognised worldwide as the capital of Wales, and has gained even more status with the establishment of the new Welsh Assembly government, which oversees a great deal of the service delivery to the devolved Welsh nation.
As befits a capital city, Cardiff is also recognised as the centre of the sporting, cultural and artistic life of Wales, boasting international venues for football, rugby and cricket. Devolution has concentrated much attention on Cardiff, and where once the city was acknowledged as playing a pivotal role in the life of the industrial heartlands of the south Wales valleys, with the decline of the region's coal and steel industries, its economy has evolved into one based more on service industries especially in the finance and business support sectors.
Major companies in these fields with a large presence in Cardiff include insurer Legal & General, Zurich, Admiral Insurance and the locally-based Principality Building Society. And where the city's port was in steady decline for several decades, in recent times it has enjoyed a resurgence in its fortunes, and now it regularly handles more than three million tonnes of goods a year.
The city lies close to the M4 motorway which offers fast links to London and the Bristol area, while the only international airport in Wales is situated 10 miles west of the city centre, and its facilities are being updated in an ongoing programme so that it can accommodate more traffic. Fast train services run between Cardiff and London, Bristol and Birmingham, while the city is also the hub for an extensive network of commuter lines which stretches deep into the Welsh valleys.
Thanks to the excellent transport links, getting a parcel to any part of Cardiff is fast and easy, and the major international courier companies all have a heavy concentration of resources in the city. As Cardiff has grown in recent years, so its businesses and residents have also spread further afield. And so tha they can be in the best possible position to meet this changing demand, courier companies and international delivery specialists have expanded their resources to meet the growing need for their services.
