Get Involved, Become a Member of LHUK Today
Wednesday 21 December 2016
We are a membership group committed to the development of the Sheffield City Region as one of the UK’s leading logistics, warehousing and distribution sites.
Bringing public and private sector organisations together, the group has been established to promote the numerous benefits of the region as a logistics hub and international gateway, build supply chain connections and develop and improve activity with other city regions such as Leeds and Manchester.
Why the Sheffield City Region?
At the geographical centre of the UK, the Sheffield City Region provides the ideal location for logistics, warehousing and distribution companies looking for fast access to the UK’s largest markets and population centres, as well as international territories, too.
The area has direct access to the UK’s motorway network, at a central north-south/east-west interchange (M1/A1/M18-M62/M180), and is home to Doncaster’s air and rail freight terminals. The UK’s largest sea port by tonnage – the Humber port – is also within close proximity.
This multimodal transport provision provides businesses with fast and flexible access both nationally and internationally, by road, rail, air and sea. The LHUK Group exists to promote and build on these transport links, ensuring the logistics sector in the region continues to flourish.
Why become a member of Logistics Hub UK?
The Sheffield City Region’s logistics hub has been identified as one of most exciting prospects in the country, thanks to the fast-paced rate of development and the connections being made both nationally and globally.
Joining the group means you and your business can be a part of that development, helping to shape the region’s logistics industry, forge strong links with worldwide supply chains and influence the national policy and planning agenda.
You’ll be involved in regular industry-focused events, with the chance to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the logistics sector with your peers and industry leaders.
And, with access to marketing support from our team, you’ll be able to raise the profile of your business further, promoting your staff and your services to a wider audience.
Who can join?
The LHUK Group is open to any business working within the logistics, warehousing and distribution industry in the UK.
Different levels of membership mean companies of any size can join the group and play a part in developing the region as a logistics centre of excellence.
