Logistics

Northamptonshire is located at the heart of the UK and this unique central location in the "Golden Triangle", coupled with exceptional transport links make logistics one of the county's most significant industry sectors.

Across the county, core logistics companies carry out haulage, postal, courier and freight activities while peripheral logistics organisations provide storage and manufacturing services. Additionally, a large number of mail order companies, integrators and third party logistics operators exist in the area.

This buoyant logistics community makes effective use of a sophisticated network of major roads and railway links, which provide easy access to ports and airports. Dedicated terminals for both rail and airfreight combined with low labour and property costs mean Northamptonshire represents an unrivalled, affordable strategic gateway to local, national and international customers and suppliers.

Some of the best-known logistics firms are already located in Northamptonshire. Companies like NYK Logistics, Wincanton, Eddie Stobard, Wrefords and Panasonic Logistics have all chosen the county as a great place from which to run a successful logistics company.
