Pricecheck has expanded its operational footprint with a new 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Sheffield and the addition of a 13,000 sq. ft. temporary structure at the company’s Rotherham site.
These moves will increase Pricecheck’s total warehouse capacity to more than 400,000 sq. ft as the wholesaler heads towards the end of its “Vision 200” five-year strategic goal to double the size of the business and reach a £200m turnover by the end of the 2025/26 financial year.
The business is also hiring six new staff members for the new warehouse, which sits directly across from the wholesaler’s headquarters. To also further manage this upscaling, Pricecheck’s Rotherham warehouse is now open on weekends.

Last year, Pricecheck achieved the company’s biggest day, week, month, quarter and year on record for the past financial year, with turnover now at £179m, up 17.9%. This marked 11 years of consecutive growth for the Yorkshire wholesaler.
Mark Amos, operations director at Pricecheck, said: “Our rapid growth has been incredibly exciting, but it has also brought challenges. This new warehouse, as well as our Rotherham site being open seven days a week, are vital steps in ensuring we have the infrastructure and capacity to meet the huge demand from our partners and retailers.
“As we continue our evolution from a traditional wholesaler into a brand distributor, we are constantly looking for ways to build on our recent successes. This expansion provides the foundation we need to meet the needs of our growing list of brand partners, hit our targets, and lay the foundations for us to reach even greater heights.”
