From the old tractor works to the shop counter: van work for HD9 firms
The industrial side of town is at its eastern end. Meltham Mills Industrial Estate, off Meltham Mills Road at HD9 4DS, fills the old mill and tractor buildings with units such as ABG, and Bent Ley Road at HD9 4AW has Dinsmore Textiles, Gibson Taylor Tranzol and other firms. A delivery there needs the unit name, the goods-in door and the hours, because several businesses share the access roads. Small loads to Huddersfield, samples to a customer or a part between sites all suit one van.
The town centre has its own needs. Shops on Station Street, Huddersfield Road and Holmfirth Road, from the bakers to the deli and the shoe shop, sit on streets where the van stops briefly at the kerb, so the drop is quick and timed outside the school run. The Carlile Institute Business Centre on Huddersfield Road has offices for furniture, files or equipment. Weekly runs can be booked as a standing slot, with a fixed price you can put on a purchase order.

Business Deliveries in Meltham: your questions
Can you move a pallet's worth of goods?
Yes, if it can be broken down and loaded by hand. The van has no forklift, so send the weights first.
Do you invoice businesses?
Yes. The price is fixed before the job, so it can go on a purchase order.
Can you do a regular run from Meltham to Huddersfield?
Yes, a standing slot can be booked on the same day each week, subject to the diary.
Can you collect from an office in the Carlile Institute?
Yes. Say which floor and whether there is a lift, and the van stops on Huddersfield Road.
