The Approach 580 SIA is part of one of the key gateways into the city from the M57 motorway. It covers parts of Knowsley and north east Liverpool and is centred on the A580 East Lancashire Road between Aintree and Knowsley.
140,000 people live very close to the area and there are around 1000 companies employing almost 21,000 people. Well-known firms include Vertex, Jacobs, QVC, Trigon Snacks and TJ Morris. The area has great strengths in the manufacturing, logistics, service and food sectors.
It has great road links and a wide range of business sites and buildings. This means it offers great opportunities for industrial and economic regeneration.
The area is also home to a vibrant small and medium-sized business community. These firms can be found at the:
- Aintree and Gillmoss Industrial Estates;
- Knowsley Industrial Park, Knowsley Business Park;
- Axis Business Park; and
- the new Stonebridge Business Park.
Liverpool Vision is working to make a number of important large sites and buildings available in the Liverpool part of the SIA. They also offer help to firms wishing to move to or expand here.
