Bunches Florapost is located on Hazelford Way industrial estate at Newstead. Suggest reasons why this location was chosen.         [6]

Exemple answer:

Bunches was located on Hazelford Industrial estate for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is sited approximately 1 km from the A611 and the A606 and 3 km east of the M1. Consequently, it is easy for the company to deliver their goods and receive deliveries. Also the roads are A roads, as a result it would enable the company to receive and send products in bulk and not add to traffic congestion.

Secondly, the company sends many of its products by Royal Mail First Class Post. As a result, the site next to the Railway station in Newstead would enable deliveries to be made quickly and efficiently.

Furthermore, being on an Industrial estate will ensure that the building was suitable for the purpose, with similar businesses close-by. Therefore, it would enable companies to share ideas and facilities. Also the site is far enough away from the urban areas of Hucknell and Annesley to allow for expansion, but close enough to provide the required amount of labour.

Finally, being situated in Nottinghamshire, it provides easy access to many markets in the other towns and cities in the Midlands.
