Freight Narrative Report

Freight Narrative Report

This analysis explains why the logistics industry is locating national and regional distribution centres within a ‘Golden Triangle’ within the Midlands to serve the UK.

The central location, combined with the accessibility to all parts of the UK, make this location the logical place to locate centralised facilities in order to achieve the most efficient operation of freight logistics.

Maintaining this accessibility therefore relies upon the free flow of freight on the routes radiating from the heart of the Midlands, specifically the M6, M1, M40, M5, A14, A50, A1 and the M42.
