LOCATION
Situated between Liverpool and Manchester, Skelmersdale is readily accessible from all parts of the North West and is the focal point of economic growth in West Lancashire. As one of the early new towns, Skelmersdale enjoys the benefits of a purpose built road system linking well planned industrial estates directly on to the motorway network.
The site is located on Gladden Road with access via Junction 4 of the M58 motorway, 4 miles to the west of Junction 26 of the M6 Motorway and thereby offers direct access to both the regional and national motorway network.
Manchester and Liverpool Airports are both within easy driving distance offering a full range of facilities for both passengers and cargo. The Port of Liverpool and Freeport offer surface freight service to America, Africa, Europe and the Far East. The rail freight terminal linking into Europe is at Seaforth (Liverpool) whilst the West Coast railway line is at nearby Wigan serving Scotland, the Midlands, the South and all areas of the North West.
