Wythenshawe estates to Northern Quarter shopfronts: Manchester trade runs
Wythenshawe has several industrial areas: the Sharston Industrial Area and Roundthorn, Southmoor Industrial Estate in Brooklands, and Airport City and the Airport Cargo Centre beside the airport, all close to the M56. North and east, the Navigation Trading Estate in Newton Heath and Clayton Industrial Estate sit off the main roads towards the M60. A unit with a yard means the van backs in and the goods go straight on.
The centre is different. A shop in the Northern Quarter, a studio in Ancoats or an office near Piccadilly is loaded from the street, and some streets are one way or closed to traffic, so the drop point is agreed before the day. A café refit, display units for a shop, boxed stock or office chairs all go by trolley from the nearest legal stop. Lengths up to 3.4m and loads up to 1.7m high fit inside.

The size of the load, the access at each end and the miles between them decide the price, and it is fixed and agreed before the van leaves Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
