There is a wide choice of express delivery companies willing to help take away the bother of sending a parcel to Rotherham. Once a bastion of the coal and steel industries, Rotherham has benefited from substantial European Union help to regenerate the area following their decline.
The latter still has an important presence in the town, in the shape of Corus Engineering Steels' factory, which makes the raw material for the fuselage of the Airbus A380 aircraft and Renault's Formula One motor racing cars. The central location enjoyed by the town and borough of Rotherham mean that it is a desirable place from which to reach out and serve the whole of the UK.
As a result, the borough's population now exceeds 250,000, and major sports and entertainment facilities are being built to cater for them and in an attempt to attract visitors from a wider area. Many former industrial and factory sites have been transformed and brought back to life in other guises, one of the most successful being the Magna science adventure centre which occupies the former Templeborough steelworks site, and includes as a centerpiece one of the old factory's electric arc furnaces.
A major legacy of the town's steel industry lives on in the shape of the Advanced Manufacturing Park which lies between Rotherham and Sheffield. Its major tenants include Rolls Royce, and the park houses businesses which are at the leading edge of manufacturing and design technology.
Rotherham is just a short distance from Sheffield, and is one of four major metropolitan borough which used to comprise the county of South Yorkshire, the others being Barnsley and Doncaster. It lies close to the M1 motorway, approximately 160 miles north of London, and is served by Robin Hood International Airport. This is on the site of a former RAF base south of Doncaster, with good road connections into Rotherham itself.
As befits a town in such a strategically convenient location, many major parcel delivery companies operate depots close to Rotherham, so sending a parcel to an address in or close to the town is easy, quick and efficient. There are massive resources ready and waiting to be tapped into to help any individual or business get themselves noticed and establish and maintain strong links with anyone located in or around Rotherham.
The internet makes arranging a parcel delivery to Rotherham quick and easy. And thanks to the fact that international delivery companies compete fiercely for business, sending a parcel can be cheap and cost-effective.
