Carrickfergus - excellent location
One of the reasons companies choose Carrickfergus for
business is its excellent transport links. We are very close to
Belfast and other major towns - from our site in Trooperslane
Industrial Estate you can be in Belfast city centre in 20 minutes,
Ballymena in 30 or Londonderry in an hour.
Belfast International and Belfast City Airports are only 12
miles away and the key ports of Larne and Belfast can be easily
and quickly reached by both rail and road.
Carrickfergus is one of the oldest towns in Ireland and has
also built a reputation as an attractive tourist destination
(see www.carrickfergus.org). In recent years big investments in its
leisure infrastructure, notably the 300-berth marina, have
positioned it as a premier location for leisure based short
breaks.
The home of business
In recent years Carrickfergus has welcomed significant
investments from major companies such as Ryobi and Schrader Electronics. The borough is also home to several hundred small to
medium enterprises, many of which are actively involved in
networking and business development activities with the support of
Carrickfergus Enterprise.
With both the University of Ulster and the Northern Regional College only a short distance away Carrickfergus is also well
placed to cater for new businesses that want to tap into the
academic expertise and research and development capability of
these institutions. |
