When the deal matters, you need people you can count on.
In the clearance market, that's harder to find than it should be. Operators overpromise, underdeliver, or disappear when the numbers don't suit them. Whether you're clearing surplus or sourcing it, you end up spending as much time chasing your partner as you do handling the goods. Link Distribution was built to be the opposite of that.
Where it all Began:
The Link Distribution Story
Craig Donaldson started Link Distribution in 2007 because he'd spent years watching the clearance market from the inside and knew it could be done better. He started from his small flat in Leeds, then moved into a small unit in Bradford, and built the business one deal at a time. His brother, Dave, joined two years later. They knocked through to the unit next door and doubled the space. The business kept growing, and it grew the only way they knew how: by honouring every deal and never giving anyone a reason to look elsewhere.
2007
From humble beginnings, Link Distribution now works with some of the biggest brands and retailers in Europe.

Years of experience in the clearance market.
"When you look at it, it has actually been a fairy tale."
"Eighteen years in the making! We've now got three warehouses, a team we've worked with for years, and brands across Europe who trust us to handle their stock properly. We're still the ones picking up the phone and doing the deals. That hasn't changed."

Where we are now
In 2019, the brothers bought their first unit at the current site in Baildon, Bradford. In 2021, the unit next door. In 2023, the unit opposite. Today, this family business has three warehouses, fifteen people, and over a million units of stock on the shelves at any given time.
