Midlands logistics firm shifts gears with new site in Derbyshire

Midlands logistics firm, D&D Transport, has opened the doors to a new facility in Alfreton, marking a major investment in its growth.

Located in an industrial estate in the heart of Derbyshire, the new site spans just under 70,000 sq ft, providing significant space for storage, operations and future development.

The move to Birchwood Way, Cotes Park Industrial Estate, supports D&D Transport’s long-term strategy to strengthen its logistics offering and better serve its growing customer base.

Just minutes from Junction 28 of the M1 and the A38, the new location also puts the firm – which is a member of the Palletways UK network – in direct access of key transport corridors.

Dave Palmer, owner of D&D Transport, said: “This move represents a major step forward for the business. The new site gives us the space to scale and diversify our services and positions us more strategically to serve customers in the region.

“Since opening the facility, we’ve already started to see the positive impact it can have for us and the businesses we serve – we’re excited to accelerate into the next phase of our growth journey.”

Warrick Trimble, network director for Palletways UK, added: “We’re thrilled to see D&D Transport investing in a new facility that will enhance their capabilities.

“Their strategic location and growth ambitions perfectly align with Palletways’ commitment to delivering efficient, reliable logistics solutions across the UK and beyond.”
