Known for being home to Manchester United, there's some exciting activity on the horizon with the Old Trafford redevelopment, potentially bringing 90,000 jobs to the region. Trafford is also known for the Imperial War Museum, The Trafford Centre, the Ship Canal and of course, Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground. You won't be short of days out when you visit Trafford.

Your Local President for Trafford is Graham Dixon of Esprit Warehousing, your Vice President is Paul Winterbottom of The Alternative Board and your Local Area manager is Oliver Lanz - catch their details below.

Graham said: "I started Esprit Group in 1998 as an international haulage business working out of Trafford Park. Over the years I’ve seen some huge changes in Trafford, mostly for the better, and it’s great to see Trafford remains such a destination of choice for large & small companies, working with clients both locally and internationally. New companies continue to choose Trafford as a base and existing companies continue to invest in their sites, meaning the opportunities which exist within the Trafford area are vast and diverse. Most career choices have somewhere in Trafford where they can be followed. It’s a great place to have spent the last 27 years and with the planned investment, both private and public, it’s only going to get better.

"Anyone who knows me would be disappointed if I didn’t mention the Manchester Ship Canal. We have this amazing asset in Trafford which is a direct link to Europe but which is mostly forgotten. We should be seizing every opportunity to bring this back into more regular use & looking for opportunities to move freight via the Ship Canal."
