Light industrial for sale

Haulage LS27, South Yorkshire, South Yorkshire

General haulage business in South Yorkshire for Sale.

An opportunity exists to acquire a long-established and highly regarded UK general haulage and transport business operating from a strategically positioned depot in South Yorkshire. The company has built an excellent reputation over several decades for reliability, flexibility and customer service, supporting a loyal customer base that includes industrial and manufacturing businesses nationwide.

The business provides a comprehensive range of transport services, including full-load haulage, palletised distribution, groupage and specialist movements for industrial customers. A significant proportion of revenue is generated from longstanding client relationships, many of which have been maintained for decades, providing a strong level of repeat business and recurring income.

Operations are supported by an experienced management team, office staff and employed drivers, supplemented by trusted subcontractors when required. The company generates annual turnover in excess of £1.2 million and adjusted net profits exceeding £250,000, whilst offering substantial potential for growth through increased fleet utilisation, enhanced marketing activity and further development of existing customer relationships.

A key attraction is the current Operator's Licence capacity, which permits significantly more vehicles and trailers than are presently utilised, providing immediate scope for expansion without requiring additional regulatory approvals.

The business trades from a highly accessible transport depot located with excellent connectivity to the national road network. The site extends to approximately 1.5 acres and includes substantial workshop facilities, office accommodation and secure yard space for commercial vehicles and trailers. The property is available either freehold or by way of a new lease, offering flexibility to a wide range of purchasers.

This opportunity is expected to appeal to trade buyers seeking additional fleet capacity and market share, owner-managers looking for an established and profitable transport operation, or industrial businesses wishing to combine transport operations with valuable commercial property assets. The retirement of the current owners presents a rare opportunity to acquire a respected haulage business with strong profitability, valuable infrastructure and significant expansion potential.
