The bypass units and the town-centre shops
The business park is the easier drop. It lies just off the Hemsworth bypass, so the van comes off the A628 and reaches the unit without crossing the town centre, and units have their own yards or forecourts. Give the unit name, goods-in hours and a contact, and any signing-in rules. A repeat run between a supplier in Wakefield or Barnsley and a unit there can be set up as a standing slot.
Shops on Market Street are harder to serve, because the street runs as one-way lanes past the bus station and loading on it is awkward. Drops go in from a side street or a rear door, with the goods on a trolley. Kirkby Road, the B6422 east towards South Kirkby, has a row of independent shops and takeaways where a kerbside stop is easier outside busy hours. A round that mixes the park and the town is ordered so the bypass units come first and the centre comes after the morning bus rush.
Unit numbers, goods-in times and long items
- Send the unit name or number, goods-in hours and a named contact at each drop
- Mention any site induction, hi-vis or signing-in rule at the receiving end
- Long items such as trunking or display boards up to 3.4m travel flat on the floor
- For a Market Street shop, say whether there is a rear door or yard
- Flag anything too heavy to unload by hand so a forklift is ready

Business Deliveries in Hemsworth: your questions
Can you deliver to a unit on South Kirkby Business Park?
Yes. Send the unit name, goods-in hours and a contact. The van comes off the A628 bypass, so the drop avoids the town centre.
Can you set up a repeat weekly slot?
Yes. A standing slot between your supplier and your unit can be agreed, with one fixed price for each run.
Can you drop to a shop on Market Street?
Yes, from the nearest side street or a rear door, with the goods taken in on a trolley, since the street itself is one-way lanes by the bus station.
