Logistics Hub UK, Sheffield City Region - the UK's 'Central and Portcentric' Logistics Location

In the traditional UK distribution model, the transportation of goods from peripheral ports to inland deconsolidation centres (traditionally in the English Midlands), involves significant journey times and costs. The alternative 'port centric' distribution model can reduced costs and delivery times between port and distribution centre. However, because most UK ports are peripherally located, this model typically results in significant transportation times and costs between port centric distribution centres and consumer markets.

Logistics Hub UK’s optimal geography provides distribution companies with a hub location that is both ‘UK central’ and ‘port centric’, based on the close proximity of the Humber ports - all accessible within HGV drive times of 1 hour or less.

A 'Central and Port Centric' Location - Key Benefits

Logistics Hub UK’s unique ‘central and port centric’ location delivers a range of potential benefits to logistics, distribution and warehousing companies, including:

• Reduced transport times, costs, inventories and carbon emissions
• Transfer of traffic to the Humber’s smaller, less congested, deep sea ports
• Reduced auxiliary costs at Humber ports in comparison with larger UK ports
• The option to off-load freight at continental European ports, followed by short sea legs to the Humber
• The specialist capabilities of the constituent Humber ports:
• Hull: 20 miles from the North Sea; all-weather terminal; the UK’s largest offshore wind farm; importation of energy goods
• Grimsby: The UK’s major car imports terminal
• Immingham: The UK’s busiest port
• Goole: The UK’s most inland port, on the river Ouse [4]
