They say a lot can happen in a year. And 2022 was no exception. In a climate of unprecedented change, we were busy transforming our newly acquired site at Sallow Road in Corby, opening the doors in May 2022.
The new location is now the centre of our UK wide road transport and distribution operations. It represents the most significant period of growth in our company’s 50 year history, and an exciting investment in the future for Stephen Sanderson Transport, our employees and customers.
5½ acres of land, office and conference spaces have undergone a £1.8M re-development, providing parking for 50 trucks, and new state-of-the-art facilities.

Part of the redevelopment saw the opening of the new George Lee Building, named after Stephen Sanderson’s grandfather who helped start the business back in 1973. It houses a business lounge and meeting spaces which we hope will also provide a facility for training and industry collaboration. Our people make Sanderson what it is, and investing to provide a well-equipped and positive working environment is a top priority, so with that in mind we’ve also created a gym and relaxation space for our employees within the new building.
