Glasgow is the largest industrial market in Scotland. Engineering, fabrication and construction firms sit alongside food producers, packaging plants, vehicle workshops and distribution depots. Hillington Park, west of the city near junction 26 of the M8, is the biggest business park in Scotland and has a strong automotive and engineering presence. Queenslie, beside the M8 in the east of the city, is the largest estate inside the city boundary. Clydesmill at Cambuslang, off junction 2A of the M74, is a main distribution location. Further estates lie in Clydebank, Rutherglen and along the Clyde Gateway.
The M8, M74, M77 and M73 meet around the city and connect to Edinburgh, Carlisle and Ayrshire. The A82 runs north west. Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations carry the main rail services. Mossend has a rail freight terminal. Low loaders can reach the main estates from the motorway without passing through the centre.

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.
- Is there a minimum amount of equipment you will take on?
- Do I need to know the exact model of each machine?
- Do we have to sell everything on the site?
- Who removes the equipment after the sale?
