A Strategic Location at the Heart of the UK
Halcion Express operates from a centrally located logistics hub near M6 Junction 16, placing us at the centre of the UK’s motorway network. This prime position gives importers, wholesalers, retailers, and ecommerce brands a powerful advantage: faster delivery times, predictable transit, and seamless access to every region of the UK and Ireland.
Our location isn’t just convenient, it’s a core part of how we deliver speed, reliability, and efficiency across your entire supply chain.
Why Our Location Matters for Your Supply Chain
Being based minutes from the M6 allows us to reach the UK’s major routes quickly, connecting directly to the M1, M62, M56, M54, and the wider Midlands logistics triangle. This means your freight moves through the country with fewer delays, shorter routes, and more consistent delivery windows.
For importers, this central position is especially valuable. Containers arriving from ports such as Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool, and Tilbury can be transported by specialist hauliers straight to our hub for offloading, palletisation, and onward distribution. Everything happens in one place, keeping your logistics simple and efficient.
