Same day couriers in Trafford Park
Trafford Park was the world's first planned industrial estate and is still one of the largest in Europe. Cend is based at Universal Square in Manchester, about 5 miles away, and runs a dedicated same day courier service to and from every part of it.
Our drivers reach the park on the A56 Chester Road or along the A57 Regent Road and Trafford Road. The drive is typically 15 to 30 minutes, and the M60 at junctions 9 and 10 takes us straight out to the rest of the country.

Who uses couriers in Trafford Park
The park is home to hundreds of manufacturers, food producers, wholesalers and distribution firms. When a part, a pallet or a set of papers can't wait for the next scheduled lorry, a same day van keeps the job moving.
EventCity and the Trafford Centre add exhibition and retail work, and Imperial War Museum North sits on Trafford Wharf. Old Trafford's football and cricket grounds sit on the park's southern edge.
What we typically carry
Common jobs are a spare part for a production line, stock moved between a warehouse and a shop, stand materials for an EventCity show, and signed documents to a city centre office. Every job gets its own vehicle and proof of delivery at the drop.
For several stops in one run, our multi drop delivery service plans the route for you.
