What a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend at the Ackworth Pram Race!

This amazing community event, organised entirely by dedicated local volunteers, raises much-needed funds for the Prince of Wales Hospice and continues to bring people together year after year.

Ackworth holds a special place in Onward's history. It's where our business was established and called home for more than 80 years, so supporting events like this means a great deal to us.

Congratulations to everyone who took part and helped make the event another huge success.

We're incredibly excited to see the launch of the new Leeds Knights kit for the 2026/27 season.

As our logistic operation Yorkshire Warehousing takes on the role of sleeve sponsor, we're proud to support one of Yorkshire's leading sports teams and be part of their journey this season.

We can't wait to see what the season brings. Good luck to everyone at Leeds Knights!

The businesses that struggle for storage space in Q4 are usually the ones that had a strong Q3.

Output climbs through summer and orders follow, with stock building week by week until the space that felt comfortable in June is already running hard by September.

By the time Q4 demand arrives, the storage flex that was supposed to carry the operation through the busy period has already been used up.
→ Production increases absorbed space gradually through summer
→ Stock that built through Q3 is still sitting on the floor
→ Q4 demand arrives with less room than the operation needs

The businesses that move through Q4 without the scramble tend to review their storage position while there is still time to act on it.

If Q3 has been good and Q4 is looking busy, talk to us at yorkshirewarehousing.com

The storage arrangements that work best have had time to settle.

A team that knows how your stock moves, which lines turn quickly, and what a normal week looks like can handle something unexpected without starting from scratch. That kind of familiarity comes from showing up and doing the job well, day after day.

For operations that rely on storage running smoothly every day, a provider that genuinely knows the business makes a practical difference. Stock where it should be. Collections handled correctly. A direct conversation when something needs sorting.

At Yorkshire Warehousing, we work with businesses over the long term. Talk to us at yorkshirewarehousing.com

Tariffs are pushing UK businesses to switch suppliers. The storage gap that is created is the part most operations underestimate.

A new supplier comes on board while the old stock is still clearing, lead times are untested, and order quantities are different. The storage setup that worked three months ago is suddenly running a different operation.

That transition window is where the pressure lands. Two sources of stock competing for the same space, a team adapting to a new inbound pattern, and a floor that was sized around a supply chain that has just changed.

Flexible storage for that period keeps the main facility clear and the changeover manageable.

If a supplier switch is on the horizon, talk to us at yorkshirewarehousing.com

The best way to show how long a warehousing business has been around is through the lorries.

The lorries in these photos tell the story better than we could, different decades, different livery, the same operation behind them.

The new livery is the latest chapter in that story. We have been moving and storing goods across Yorkshire for a long time, and the lorries reflect where the business is heading next.

The warehousing and logistics industry has historically been male-dominated. That picture is changing, and at Yorkshire Warehousing, it already has.

Vicky and Clair are site supervisors here. They run the floor, manage the stock, and keep operations moving every day. They got there because they are good at the job.

The best warehouses are run by experienced, capable people. Women's Equality Day on 26 August is a good moment to say that plainly.

August feels quieter than it is.

Retailers and FMCG operators are already building autumn stock. Manufacturers are locking in Q4 production schedules. The businesses that handle the September ramp-up well tend to have their storage lined up before the summer ends.

Most operations wish they had started this conversation a month earlier.

If Q4 is going to put more stock through your operation than summer did, talk to us before September arrives.

Tariff uncertainty is changing how UK businesses think about stock.

For manufacturers and distributors managing imported goods, 2026 has made planning harder. Some are building buffer stock to protect customer service levels. Others are asking whether the storage arrangements from six months ago still reflect how their supply chain actually runs.

Either way, the question is the same. How much stock needs to sit domestically, and is there room for it?

For Yorkshire-based operations, that is a practical calculation worth making sooner rather than later.

Transport costs across UK supply chains are running higher in 2026, and the indications point to a durable shift rather than a short-term spike.

For businesses moving goods regularly, every mile now carries more cost than it did twelve months ago. When freight rates firm up, the distance between your stock and its next destination stops being a convenience factor and starts showing up on the bottom line.

A storage facility close to your regular routes reduces the miles on every movement.

Yorkshire Warehousing sits less than a mile from Junction 31 of the M62.

If rising transport costs are changing how you think about where your stock sits, talk to us at yorkshirewarehousing.com
