Why Wigan?Wigan town centre has recently undergone a major regeneration with the development of the 430,000 sqft Grand Arcade which houses the many well known high street stores. With inward investment plans for the borough that include the regeneration of the Wigan Pier Quarter, the Chinamex gateway at Westwood Park, together with the vast array of well established local businesses, Wigan is a great place to do businessWigan is surrounded by a triangle of motorways at the heart of the most comprehensive motorway network in Europe. Some of the UK’s principal North-South and East-West road and rail links pass through the town. The M62 running East-West, linking Liverpool with Hull, provides access to the East Coast ports, and passes through such key centres as Manchester and Leeds. The North-South M6 is the principal route to London, Scotland and the Midlands, with a drive time to the capital of only three and a half hours. Running through the heart of Wigan is the main West Coast rail line, with a journey time to London of two and a half hours, and less than three and a half hours to Glasgow. Few locations can claim to be within forty minutes drive of both the fastest growing airport in Europe at Manchester and a Freeport at Liverpool which, each week, handles goods worth millions of pounds for hundreds of companies serving over 80 countries. From Manchester and Liverpool airports 84 airlines serve 225 destinations around the world. Manchester Airport, which handled over 21 million passengers last year, has more domestic flight routes than any other airport in the UK, including Heathrow, and is the third busiest airport in the UK. |
