Surefreight opens new Heysham depot

Surefreight has cut the ribbon on a new £1.3m depot at Heysham Port, an investment made by the haulage firm intended to improve port accessibility for businesses and consumers across the country.

Brian McManus of Surefreight said: “This investment is very much part of our overall strategic distribution plan to add value for our customers and, of course, to people in the local area. Not only will it help us to grow our own client relationships, but it will allow other businesses to grow theirs too.”

Heysham Port offers a fast and efficient route to the Irish Sea, catering to a number of daily sailings. A key partner for Surefreight is Seatruck. These firms have developed a special relationship, after having worked together at the port for over 20 years. This recent investment underlines the haulage firm’s commitment to one of its most valued customers. Alistair Eagles, CEO of Seatruck said: “The M6 Link road has dramatically reduced the transit time to Heysham Port and has been a real game changer for the development routes from the Port of Heysham. Surefreight’s investment will only help bolster the strategic plans we have in place with Peel Ports Group. This is a momentous event for everyone who relies on the port for business.”
