A PRIME LOCATION
Forge Point, Scunthorpe, is located on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, ideally situated between London and Edinburgh and at the most northern part of the Greater Lincolnshire region.
Forge Point forms part of the wider Lincolnshire Lakes development, a strategic development that is considered to be one of the largest residential development opportunities in the UK. Once complete the area will see over 6,000 new homes, in a number of village settings alongside local and district centres, education facilities and recreation and leisure opportunities. It is aimed that the development will create a gateway entrance to Scunthorpe. North Lincolnshire is a nationally significant manufacturing hub, strategically positioned within the UK’s food belt (York to Lincoln) and energy corridor (east to west), offering strong connectivity and supply chain access. With excellent transport links via ports, rail, airports, and motorways, it provides fast access to UK, European, and global markets. The area also benefits from strong public-private collaboration, creating a well-balanced and business friendly environment.
By Road
Easy access from North Lincolnshire’s central east coast enables a return road freight journey within one 9-hour HGV driver shift to major UK conurbations and manufacturing centres via the M180/A15, and two return journeys to much of the East Midlands and Yorkshire.
By Sea
North Lincolnshire has an extensive port and wharf network. The South Humber Ports – Port of Immingham & Grimsby and CLdN Killingholme Port offer fully integrated shipping and logistics solutions including ‘high cube’ rail. All are within easy access of Forge Point.
By Rail
Eastern end of the Trans-Pennine Corridor for freight & logistics. Direct Network Rail access via Port of Immingham, which handles more than 240 rail freight movements per week. A regular passenger train service links Scunthorpe to the main east-west and north-south rail services via Doncaster, meaning London is accessible in less than two and a half hours.
By Air
Worldwide links through Humberside Airport with a ‘hub-feeder’ service to Amsterdam Schiphol and a major UK heliport servicing offshore industries.
