Sapphire Vehicle Services, a leading provider of commercial vehicle maintenance and repair, is proud to announce the opening of its newest depot in Barnsley. Scheduled to begin operations in early January 2026, the facility is strategically located just off the M1, providing a vital hub for fleet operators across South Yorkshire and beyond.
The new Barnsley site is designed to accommodate the growing needs of the logistics and transport industry. The facility features:
- A spacious yard with ample parking for large fleets.
- High-clearance workshops specifically designed to handle double-deck trailers.
- State-of-the-art equipment, including newly installed lifters and a dedicated roller brake testing bay.
- Comprehensive services, including routine maintenance, repairs, and loaded brake tests for both trucks and trailers and much more.
Grant Tadman, Group Commercial Director at Sapphire said:
“The opening of our Barnsley depot is a significant milestone in Sapphire’s growth. By establishing ourselves at Wentworth Way, we aren’t just adding more space; we are providing a high-capacity, 24/7 strategic hub designed to meet the complex needs of modern fleets. With specialised infrastructure for double-deck trailers and a prime location off the M1, we are perfectly positioned to minimise downtime for our customers. I’m looking forward to getting on the ground this January to show local operators how our tailored maintenance solutions will keep their businesses moving.”
To celebrate the launch, Sapphire is offering a free roller brake test for all new account customers who sign up at the Barnsley depot during the opening period.
