Getting a parcel to Rotherham is made very easy thanks to a combination of excellent transport links to the town, and the vast resources of the UK courier companies.
Rotherham sits close to the M1 motorway from London to Leeds, near the point where the M18 motorway towards the Humber ports and north Lincolnshire diverges. More than 115,000 people live in the area, which is a metropolitan borough which once formed part of the county of South Yorkshire.
Steel and coal were the foundations on which the town's prosperity was built. However, in the last half of the 20th century, both industries suffered massive decline, with the result that the area has since looked to new economic sectors, such as retail and leisure, to bring in income and jobs to replace those lost.
The town has benefited from substantial urban regeneration which has been made possible by the awarding of European Union grants aimed at mitigating the effects of the decline of heavy industry. The central area is being redeveloped, with new shops, apartments, cafes and a theatre forming part of the plans.
Nearly a quarter of a million people live in the Rotherham borough, which, apart from the town itself, includes a number of large villages. Many of these grew up around the local colliery or steelworks, and as a result, whereas many of the inhabitants used to work locally, they now commute further afield, to the likes of Sheffield, Doncaster and Leeds.
One of the largest former steelworks in the town, Templeborough Mills, has been revived as the Magna Science and Adventure Centre, a major tourist attraction which has one of the works' former electric arc furnaces as its centrepiece.
Getting a parcel to Rotherham is made easy by the proximity of the motorway network, and the availability of large areas of former industrial land has given many international parcel delivery specialists the opportunity to build important distribution centres serving the area. The fast road transport links the area enjoys ensure that a parcel sent here from any major city in the world can be brought to either Leeds/Bradford or Manchester airports, and be in Rotherham very soon after landing on English soil.
Rotherham has had to work hard to overcome the loss of the coal and steel industries, along with the many jobs which they helped support in the area. But thanks to its strategic location, and the availability of a sizeable workforce, new businesses are establishing themselves, and creating renewed demand for efficient parcel delivery in and around the town.
