Why Salford & Irlam Businesses Rely on HGV Drivers

Irlam sits on flat land between the M62 and the north bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, around seven miles south-west of Salford, and its industry has always been tied to the waterway. The canal turned Irlam into an inland port after 1894, and the Partington Steel and Iron Company opened steelworks here in 1910; after the works closed in 1979 the site became the Northbank Industrial Park, which now stretches along the Irlam and Cadishead boundary. Irlam Wharf and the Fairhills industrial estate add further manufacturing and warehouse space, and Kingsland Wine & Spirits, the UK's largest independent wine bottler, operates from a former soapworks site employing around 300 people. The A57 links Irlam east to Eccles and M60 junction 11, the M62 runs just to the north, and Irlam railway station sits on the line between Manchester and Liverpool.

Demand in Irlam rises with bottling and packaging runs ahead of Christmas and summer drinks seasons, and with production schedules at the manufacturers and warehouses on Northbank Industrial Park. Trunking and container haulage need Class 1 (C+E) drivers, regional and store distribution relies on Class 2 (C) rigids, and local multi-drop suits 7.5t (C1) drivers — and a single unmanned vehicle can stall a shift or a delivery slot. WSUK supplies vetted drivers for temporary cover, ongoing contracts and multiple-driver mobilisations, with DVLA licence checks, CPC and tachograph compliance and right-to-work handled before anyone takes a cab.
