Communication

The location of any business is significant to its success. Worcestershire occupies a central position in England, immediately to the south of Birmingham. Our motorway and rail network, together with close proximity to one of the UK’s leading airports, combine to make the county an excellent choice.

Roads

Three motorways pass through Worcestershire. The M5 runs north to south down the middle of the county. Towards the north, the M42 motorway leaves the M5 to run east, and in the south of the county the M50 cuts away westwards towards Wales.
