Freight terminal boost to Sheffield City Region exports

The 14,000 sq ft Sheffield International Freight Terminal (SH-I-F-T) will provide exporters with a regional facility to transport goods to thousands of overseas markets.

SH-I-F-T will be based on Grange Mill Lane, near to junction 34 of the M1 motorway and close to the proposed location for the Sheffield City Region High Speed Rail station.

It will be one of only two Government approved bonded warehouses in South Yorkshire and plans are already in place to extend the terminal by a further 25,000 sq ft in the future.

To mark its development SH-I-F-T and leading international freight management company 512 (Sheffield) have both become partners of the South Yorkshire International Trade Centre (SYITC).

512 (Sheffield), which is based at the international terminal, provides a full range of export and import services to businesses.
