"Earlstrees gave us the floor space we simply couldn't find further south, and the A43 down to the A14 keeps our Felixstowe containers moving. For big-box volume, Corby has been a genuinely smart call."

Corby's story is one of reinvention. The furnaces that once made it a steel town have largely cooled, but the appetite for heavy industry left behind a legacy of large sites, robust infrastructure and a workforce used to shift-based operations. Today the NN17 and NN18 districts are among the East Midlands' densest warehousing clusters, feeding out onto the A43 towards the A14 in one direction and Northampton in the other. The Rugby and DIRFT core lies about forty minutes away.
Earlstrees is the estate that most defines the town's modern trade - a sprawling industrial and distribution area that has drawn national retailers and 3PLs to Corby's edge. Weldon and Willowbrook extend the footprint, and between them they host steel and metals processing alongside food production and the big-box distribution that increasingly dominates. Rockingham, with its motor speedway heritage and adjoining development land, sits just to the town's north, adding to the sense of a place built at scale.
What Corby lacks in direct motorway frontage it makes up for through the A14, the crucial east-west freight artery reached via the A43. That corridor links the port of Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, and Corby sits neatly on the approach. Kettering, Market Harborough and Wellingborough all lie within a short drive, so a base here serves the northern Northamptonshire warehousing belt while keeping the wider triangle and the east-coast ports within comfortable reach.
Amazon fulfilment sits naturally on top of that infrastructure. We receive containers and supplier pallets for Corby sellers, prep every unit to spec, build and wrap pallets for inbound, and deliver into Amazon’s receiving sites — while merchant-fulfilled and Seller Fulfilled Prime orders leave the same building the same day. One stock pool, whichever way the order comes in.

Local answers for Corby, plus the questions every amazon fulfilment client asks.
It does. The old steelworks left large, well-serviced sites and a workforce accustomed to industrial shift work. Steel and metals processing continues alongside food production and distribution, giving Corby an unusually deep industrial character for its size.
Earlstrees Industrial Estate is the obvious starting point - it's the largest and most established, home to national retailers and 3PLs. Weldon and Willowbrook add further capacity nearby, so there's genuine choice for large-footprint warehousing.
Via the A43, which runs down to the A14 within a short drive. The A14 is the main east-west corridor linking Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, so Corby sits well for both east-coast port traffic and cross-country trunking.
Yes. The DIRFT and Rugby core is around forty minutes away, and the A43/A14 combination gives quick onward access to the M1 and M6. Corby works as an eastern anchor of the triangle's warehousing belt.
Kettering is very close, with Market Harborough, Wellingborough and the Rockingham area all a short hop away. That covers the northern Northamptonshire and southern Leicestershire distribution belt comfortably from an NN17 or NN18 base.
Yes. Pallets are built and wrapped to Amazon’s inbound standard at our Golden Triangle warehouse and delivered into the UK receiving sites, with the Midlands centres around Rugeley, Coventry, Daventry and Rugby all a short run away — which keeps inbound freight off your margin.
That is the usual arrangement. Bulk sits with us from £4.50 per pallet per week with no capacity limit, and we build a replenishment shipment weekly from your sell-through, so FBA only ever holds what is actually moving.
From £0.75 per unit to receive, inspect, FNSKU label and scan, with polybagging and bundling from £0.45 and pallets from £12.50. FBM picks start at £1.00 plus £0.35 order processing. Every line is quoted before you commit.
Yes — picked, packed and despatched the same working day against a 4pm cut-off, from the same stock that feeds your FBA shipments. No second warehouse, no split inventory.
Typically 7–10 working days from brief to first prepped shipment, and faster when your stock is already in the UK. No setup fee, no minimum commitment, cancel any month.
