Urgent loads between Horbury and the M1
The industrial estate at Horbury Junction holds engineering firms and trade units, including Eddison & Wanless on the old wagon works site. A broken part or a missing component there is the classic urgent job. Your item travels alone: it is loaded at the collection point and unloaded at the unit, with no other stops in between. Millfield Road, the way in, narrows to a single lane where traffic takes turns, so a few minutes are allowed for it.
In the town centre, Queen Street is one-way and the kerb is busy in trading hours, so a shop there is served before opening, or the parcel is wheeled round from the Queen Street car park. Further out, Benton Office Park on Wakefield Road takes office deliveries on the way to the city. Same day depends on where the van already is, so ring rather than message when it is urgent.
What to have ready for a same-day run in Horbury
- Collection and delivery addresses, the unit number on an estate, and a contact at each end
- Any deadline, such as a goods-in cut-off or a meeting time
- Items up to 3.4m long, such as lengths of pipe or worktop, travel flat
- Chemicals, livestock and chilled food are outside what the van carries
- A photo can be sent once the item has been dropped

Same-Day Courier in Horbury: your questions
Can you do a run from Horbury today?
Possibly. That turns on the diary and where the van is when you call. Give both addresses and roughly what the item measures, and a yes or no comes back on the call.
Can you deliver to a unit at Horbury Junction?
Yes. Give the unit name or number and a contact, because the estate has several firms, and allow a few minutes for the single-lane stretch of Millfield Road.
Can one booking cover two drops?
Yes. A Horbury stop paired with Ossett or Wakefield sits neatly on one run. Say which comes first and whether either has a cut-off.
