Pricecheck adds capacity with new warehouse

An international wholesaler and distributor of branded fast-moving consumer goods has expanded its warehouse capacity.

Pricecheck Brand Partners has secured a new 20,000sq ft warehouse in Sheffield, located opposite its headquarters in Beighton, to support increasing operational needs.

The expansion comes as the company continues to scale, with additional staff being recruited for the new site and further growth planned.

Alongside the new facility, Pricecheck is also introducing a 13,000sq ft temporary structure at its Rotherham site, bringing its total warehouse footprint across South Yorkshire to more than 400000sq ft.

To manage higher volumes, the business has also extended operations at its Rotherham warehouse to seven days a week.

The investment follows a record financial year, with the company reporting turnover of £179 million and marking its 11th consecutive year of growth.

Bosses say the additional capacity will support Pricecheck’s ambitions to reach £200 million turnover as part of its ongoing expansion strategy.

Mark Amos, operations director at Pricecheck, said: “Our rapid growth has been incredibly exciting, but it has also brought challenges. 

“This new warehouse, as well as our Rotherham site being open seven days a week, are vital steps in ensuring we have the infrastructure and capacity to meet the huge demand from our partners and retailers.

“As we continue our evolution from a traditional wholesaler into a brand distributor, we are constantly looking for ways to build on our recent successes. 

“This expansion provides the foundation we need to meet the needs of our growing list of brand partners, hit our targets, and lay the foundations for us to reach even greater heights.”
