Lotherton Way, New Hold and the Main Street squeeze
The estate side of town is comfortable work. Lotherton Business Park on Lotherton Way, New Hold Industrial Estate and Cherry Trade Park all have unit frontages and space to manoeuvre, and Thorpe Park over at Colton is a short hop on the A63 for anyone running a Garforth and Colton pair on one job. Coming from Bradford we arrive via the M62 and M1 to Junction 46, so the estates are reached before the town is.
Retail on Main Street needs the timing right. The parade sits on a single through route with time-limited and loading-only bays and double yellows at the junctions, and both the Main Street car park and the station car park are filled by commuters from early on a weekday. Junctions 46 and 47 of the M1 congest at peak too. Mid-morning, after the commuter rush and before lunchtime, is the sweet spot for a shop drop.
What Garforth business deliveries usually involves
- Lotherton Business Park, New Hold and Cherry Trade Park all take a van at the unit, so these are trolley-off deliveries
- Main Street has loading-only and time-limited bays, so retail drops are quick in and out rather than a long unload
- The Main Street and station car parks are full of commuter cars from early on weekdays, and some retail car parks have height barriers
- The commuter estates off Ninelands Lane and Barley Hill Road are narrow closes with small turning heads, so we check access for anything bulky
- Thorpe Park at Colton pairs naturally with Garforth on the same A63 run, priced as one job

What it costs
Garforth deliveries are priced on the drops and time on site, so an estate round costs less than a job that has to work off Main Street. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Garforth from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Frequently asked questions: business deliveries in Garforth
What time is best for a Main Street delivery in Garforth?
Mid-morning. Before that the commuter rush has both the Main Street and station car parks full and Junctions 46 and 47 busy; at lunchtime the parade gets busy again. Between the two we can use a loading bay properly and be gone in minutes.
Do you deliver to Thorpe Park at Colton?
Yes, and it sits nicely alongside Garforth work because it is a short run down the A63. If you need a collection at one and a drop at the other, that is a single job at a single agreed price, not two bookings.
Can you reach a unit on Lotherton Way with a big load?
Yes. The Lotherton Way and New Hold units are built for vehicle access, so a full Transit Long Wheelbase load comes off at the shutter on a trolley. Just let us know the goods-in window and whether anyone needs to sign.
