Haulage firm drives growth with new depot

A South Yorkshire haulage specialist has moved into its largest depot to date as it continues to grow its nationwide logistics operation.

Warrior Link, headquartered in Sheffield, has relocated to a 9994sq ft detached premises on Lowton Way, Hellaby Industrial Estate, in Rotherham.

The move marks the firm’s biggest facility lease so far and provides warehouse and office space on a 1.25-acre site.

Founded in 2021 by Lee Hollingworth, Warrior Link provides transport services including palletised freight, contract logistics, time-sensitive deliveries and return load solutions for sectors such as manufacturing, food, packaging and construction.

The company operates a 28-vehicle fleet and has additional depots in Nottingham, Milton Keynes and Doncaster.

Its new Rotherham base benefits from access to Junction 1 of the M18, with the M1 and A1(M) also nearby.

The move supports the firm’s focus on sustainable, smart logistics, including work to reduce empty miles and progress fleet electrification.

Warrior Link, which employs many ex-forces personnel and supports the Armed Forces Covenant, has also added seven roles following the move, taking its workforce to 49.

Lee said: “With over 24 years of logistics experience behind our team, Warrior Link has built a reputation for being a solid partner for smart, flexible haulage solutions.

“Warrior Link has been built on real-world logistics experience, and a passion for delivering exceptional service. 

“We combine decades of transport knowledge with a growing vehicle fleet and team of experienced, forces-friendly drivers.

“Lowton provided the ideal location with excellent transport links to M1 and M18 and is central to the nationwide areas which we service. 

“We have created additional roles with the move to accommodate our growing business.”

Christie Smith, from Sheffield’s Wake Smith Solicitors’ commercial property team, acted for Warrior Link on the lease, with Kitty Hendrick, senior surveyor from the Sheffield office of Knight Frank, representing the landlord Ravensworth Properties.
