Getting a parcel to Solihull, no matter what its size or the nature of its contents, is a doddle, when you use an expert delivery company. With a motto which means Town in the country', Solihull is a desirable location in the English West Midlands, the second largest urban area in the country. It is just nine miles south-east of the centre of Birmingham, and hence an important commuter town for that city. It is also considered one of the most prosperous and desirable parts of this region.
As well as being a town, Solihull is also a borough, which has a population of just over 205,000. The town is in the south of the borough, which also includes other major residential areas such as Castle Bromwich, Marston Green, Chelmsley Wood and Shirley. The borough covers a total area of nearly 70 square miles. The borough is bordered by two important north to south motorways, the M6, which runs from Warwickshire to Carlisle, and the M40, from south-west of Birmingham to the north-western outskirts of London, which is just over 110 miles away.
Solihull became a metropolitan borough on the reorganisation of UK local government which took place in 1974, and although today it is considered to be part of the West Midlands, it has historically fallen within the county of Warwickshire. The rural district of Meriden, which is considered by some to be the geographical centre of England, lies within the borough.
As the area enjoys such a central location, it is a popular one for businesses looking for a base which offers good access to other parts of the country. They are able to do business with counterparts worldwide, thanks to the excellent transport links, which also include Birmingham Airport, which falls within the borough, and is the second largest airport in the UK which is does not serve London. Direct freight flights from Birmingham Airport put Solihull within easy reach of many of the major cities of northern Europe, including Paris and Amsterdam, and from there worldwide connections are available.
The Solihull area enjoys a vibrant and growing economy, helped greatly by its desirability as a place to live and work. Its excellent transport connections also ensure that anyone who needs to send parcels to the area can do so confident that they will reach their destination in a timely fashion.
