UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited slip resistance testing for distribution centres sites across the North West — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.

Sector profile. Modern distribution centres — particularly e-commerce fulfilment formats with high pick-density, conveyor automation, and 24-hour shift patterns — present slip-test brief patterns that traditional warehouse protocols miss. Conveyor underbelly zones, robot-pick floor specifications, and extreme operative-density create exposure patterns evolving year-on-year as DC formats evolve.
Regional industrial cluster. The North West is a key region for distribution centres activity — covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria — including Trafford Park, the Liverpool Freeport, the Stanlow refinery cluster, the Macclesfield pharmaceutical belt, the Crewe rail-and-automotive cluster, the Warton/Samlesbury aerospace site, and the Sellafield nuclear cluster.
Every distribution centres site in the North West has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.

Anti-slip aggregate-keyed coatings at goods-in/goods-out thresholdsthe highest-incident zones in most DCs
Resin-coated concrete in conveyor and automation zoneswhere hydraulic and grease contamination accumulates
