The Road Haulage Association is to open a new site in the North West, taking office space at a £4.5bn Merseyside development scheme.
The body, the UK's sole trade association for transport operations, has announced it is taking office space at the Tower Quays complex at Wirral Waters, following an agreement with the owner and developer, Peel L&P.
The move comes during a time of "rapid development" at Wirral Waters.
In December, construction started on a new office project called Hythe, and in February, improvement works on Tower Road completed with the installation of a new streetscape hoped to give more space to pedestrians and cyclists.
Richard Burnett, chief executive of the RHA, said: “It’s fantastic to be moving into our new Birkenhead Custom Brokerage office and to be working with Peel L&P, Mersey Maritime and many other businesses so close to the water in such an excellent location.
“These offices will provide great connectivity to local businesses on the Wirral, as well as providing valuable links with the wider Liverpool City Region and the North West.”
The new office adds to the association's other offices in London, West Yorkshire, Scotland and its HQ in Peterbrorough.
Tower Quays forms part of the Four Bridges neighbourhood at Wirral Waters - said to be one of the most strategically connected office developments on the Wirral.
Robyn Walters, property manager at Peel L&P’s Wirral Waters, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Road Haulage Association to the growing number of businesses choosing to locate at Wirral Waters.
“Tower Quays offers them flexible, newly refurbished, waterside office space within the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone and we are looking forward to working in partnership with the RHA to help facilitate their growth over the coming years.
“With more and more projects progressing at Wirral Waters, the area is beginning to bloom with more people looking to live and work on the left bank of the River Mersey."
