Junction 4, Burnden and Breightmet: planning a Bolton trade round

Logistics North is a big distribution park south-west of the town, home to Aldi's regional distribution centre and reached from junction 4 of the M61 by Cutacre Way. Large sites like these have booked goods-in times and gatehouses, so send the unit, the booking reference and the slot. Closer in, Burnden Business Park and the Pilot and Raikes Lane estates sit off Manchester Road and St Peter's Way, a short run from the centre.

East of the centre, the Breightmet and Boundary estates and Undershore Business Park are off Bury Road and Crompton Way, and Shepherd Cross Street and Peaks Place are on the Halliwell side. For a round with several stops, tell us the route and the stops, and the run gets a fixed price agreed before we set off. Shops on Bradshawgate or Newport Street face one-way traffic, and the market trades on Ashburner Street on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so a Monday or Wednesday drop is easier.

Business & Trade Deliveries in Bolton: your questions

Can you run stock between our Bolton sites more than once?

Yes, each run booked on its own when the diary allows, with its own fixed price. Keep the same addresses and the quote is quick.

Can you deliver into Logistics North?

Yes, to a booked slot. Send the unit, the reference and the site's gatehouse instructions with the booking.

Can you fetch an order from a Manchester supplier for our unit in Great Lever?

Yes. Give the supplier's address, the order reference and when it is ready, and the drop in Great Lever is timed for when someone at the unit can receive it.
