Basing your business in Barnsley puts you within easy reach of Leeds, Manchester, York, Sheffield and our region’s growing CDI sector.
- The DMC is less than five minutes walk from the Transport Interchange (and fast trains to London) and less than a mile from Junction 37 of the M1. Sheffield and Leeds are within easy reach by road and rail.
