A Sheffield haulage firm has expanded into new premises and recruited more staff while retaining its South Yorkshire roots.
Warrior Link relocated into the 9,994 sq ft premises on Hellaby industrial estate in Rotherham, marking the company’s biggest facility lease to date.
Founded in 2021 by Lee Hollingworth, the haulier provides palletised freight, contract logistics and time-sensitive deliveries in sectors including manufacturing, food and construction.
The former parcel hub site offers Warrior Link warehousing and offices on a 1.25-acre plot and allows further growth for the logistics operation.
Hollingworth said the move also meant recruiting for an additional seven roles to its 49-storng team.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
Warrior Link, which also has depots in Nottingham, Milton Keynes and Doncaster, is driven by military heritage and veteran values, employing many ex-forces personnel as well as supporting the Armed Forces Covenant and prides itself on its professional, uniformed drivers trained in customer interaction.
It holds international operator licences in the North East and North West traffic areas.
Christie Smith from Sheffield’s Wake Smith Solicitors’ commercial property team acted for Warrior Link on the lease with Kitty Hendrick, senior surveyor from Knight Frank representing landlord Ravensworth Properties.
