Freight moves constantly through Trafford Park North, with operations around Village Way, Mosley Road and Barton Dock Road. When driver shortages hit your depot or contract volumes surge, WSUK supplies temporary HGV and van drivers — vetted, compliant and ready across Trafford Park North and Trafford.
WSUK fills temporary driving jobs for Trafford Park North employers — Class 1 (C+E), Class 2 (C) and 7.5t (C1) HGV drivers plus van and multi-drop drivers — for peaks, absence cover and short-notice shifts. For depots around Village Way, Mosley Road and Barton Dock Road, reached via M60 (J9–J10), we mobilise vetted, licence- and CPC-checked drivers fast, with PAYE payroll and tacho compliance managed.
The northern half of Trafford Park is the older, more densely built side of the estate, where early twentieth-century factory plots along Mosley Road and Westinghouse Road have been redeveloped into modern warehouses, trade counters and production units. Village Way runs through the historic centre of the park, and since 2020 the Metrolink Trafford Park Line has followed it, with stops at Village and Parkway putting the area within tram reach of Manchester, Salford Quays and the Trafford Centre. To the west, Barton Dock Road carries traffic out towards the Trafford Centre and M60 junction 10, while the A5081 Parkway connects to junction 9. The Manchester Ship Canal forms the northern edge of the district, and the Trafford Park Euroterminal is close by. Occupiers range from food and packaging producers to builders' merchants, vehicle operators and multi-user distribution sheds.
Labour needs on the northern side rise with the tram-accessible trade and packaging operations along Village Way, and with retail peaks at the nearby Trafford Centre that pull extra stock through local warehouses. Sickness, holidays, contract ramp-ups and peak seasons all outpace a fixed driver roster. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking and container work, Class 2 (C) drivers for rigid distribution, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers, and van and multi-drop drivers. Every driver clears DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work before starting, and we run PAYE payroll with tacho and working-time compliance built in.
