Manchester Infrastructure

Manchester City Region has a world-class, multimodal, integrated transport infrastructure which provides connectivity across the conurbation and the wider North West region, and direct access to the rest of the UK and world.

Manchester is perfectly located. Its central location, coupled with its international connectivity, means businesses located here can exploit the significant opportunities presented by both UK and global markets.

As the North’s only major international gateway, Manchester is truly internationally connected, providing vital transport links to the rest of the globe via Manchester Airport. The Airport was awarded ‘Best UK Airport’ in 2016 at the Globe Travel Awards.

The excellent transport facilities include a comprehensive national rail network, an outer ring road covering over 30 miles connecting the region’s boroughs and providing easy access to the biggest regional airport outside London. Businesses can also flourish online thanks to high-speed fibre broadband available in town centres and commercial districts.
