Grays and Thurrock - A Commercial and Logistics Hub at the Centre of the South East
Thurrock is one of the most important logistics locations in the UK. It sits at the intersection of the M25 and the A13, on the north bank of the Thames, between two major container ports. It is home to a significant concentration of distribution centres, industrial estates, and commercial operators for good reason.
A Road Network That Gives Thurrock Businesses Unmatched South East Reach
The road network gives Thurrock-based businesses unmatched reach across the South East. The M25 and A13 provide direct access to London, Essex, Kent, and Hertfordshire without navigating town centre routes. For businesses distributing goods across the region, there are few better-placed locations in the country.
Port Proximity That Makes Thurrock the Natural Home for Import-Led Businesses
The port proximity makes Thurrock one of the most practical locations in the country for import-led businesses. Tilbury Port is 2.5 miles away. London Gateway is 20 miles away and only 10 minutes via the direct A1014 and A13 route. Importers based in or near Thurrock can receive containers at either port and have goods in a warehouse the same day.

Our site in Grays RM17 has been operating as a commercial warehouse and logistics facility for years, serving businesses across Thurrock and the wider region.
