Coventry's industrial base is built around automotive, with vehicle assembly, component makers, tooling shops and engineering consultancies across the city and into Warwickshire. Logistics operators use the large sheds at the Ryton distribution park and Middlemarch Business Park near the airport to the south east. Other estates include Binley Industrial Estate, Bayton Road at Exhall to the north and Seven Stars Industrial Estate. Many of the smaller units are occupied by engineering and trade businesses that supply the vehicle plants.
The M6 runs across the north of the city, with junction 2 leading to the M69 for Leicester and the A46 for Warwick and the M40. Junction 3 gives access to the north of the city, and the A45 links to Birmingham Airport and the M42. Coventry railway station is on the West Coast Main Line. Most estates have straightforward access for articulated lorries and low loaders.

Guides and questions
- Preparing machinery and equipment for sale
What to do in the days before viewing so machines fetch what they should. Isolate and make safe, clean but do not repaint, find the tooling and manuals, sort out access, and avoid the mistakes that cost sellers money.
- How used machinery is valued
Buyers pay for what a machine will do for them, less what it costs to get it out and running. This guide explains how make, hours, tooling, demand and removal cost feed a guide price, and why that price is not book value.
- Can you clear the whole building as well as sell the equipment?
- What if we are not sure whether a machine is moving?
- Can you sell plant from a live site?
- What if a buyer approaches me directly?
