Why Location Matters for Contractors

For tradesmen and contractors, travel time equals lost time. Staying near your worksite reduces commuting, improves productivity, and boosts team morale.

That’s why Gloucester is such a strong base for workers across the South West — its road network and business areas make it ideal for projects big or small.

With the M5, A40, and A417 nearby, you can access Bristol, Cheltenham, and Swindon with ease. But more importantly, Gloucester itself is packed with major employment and development zones where contractors are in high demand.

Let’s look at the city’s key areas — and how stayingloucester.co puts you right where you need to be.
