For contract logistics in Preston, WSUK holds the stock rather than you.

Preston is the pivot of Lancashire's road network. The M6 passes the eastern side with four junctions serving the city, the M55 strikes west to Blackpool and the Fylde, the M65 runs east through Blackburn and Burnley, and the A59 heads north-east toward the Ribble Valley. Few northern cities give an operator this many motorway options from one base, and PR postcodes cover the city and the surrounding district.
Red Scar, on the north-eastern edge beside Junction 31, is the main large-format estate and sits closest to the motorway. Walton Summit to the south covers the Bamber Bridge side with good M6 and M65 access, Roman Way serves the north, and Moss Side at Leyland picks up the southern industrial belt. The spread follows the motorway rather than the city centre, which is typical of towns that grew around a junction network.
Aerospace is the sector that defines the area - the BAE Systems sites at Warton and Samlesbury sit either side of the city and support a deep supply chain of precision engineering firms. Food manufacturing is significant, and the agricultural economy of the Fylde and the Ribble Valley feeds through the city as well. Chorley is eleven miles south, Blackburn eleven east and Leyland six south.
Where contract logistics is concerned, WSUK runs dedicated contract warehousing and managed logistics - ring-fenced space, a named team, agreed KPIs and open-book reporting rather than a shared rate card. None of that needs a building in Preston - the stock sits 105 miles away at Bilston, Wolverhampton and moves on the overnight trunk.

Four routes meet around the city: the M6 along the eastern side with four junctions, the M55 west to the Fylde, the M65 east through Blackburn and Burnley, and the A59 north-east. One Preston base can reach most of Lancashire without doubling back.
Red Scar, on the north-eastern edge beside Junction 31. It carries the largest units in the district. Walton Summit to the south is the next option, with access to both the M6 and the M65.
We handle storage, kitting and staged delivery for suppliers into that sector. The BAE Systems sites at Warton and Samlesbury sit either side of the city, and the surrounding precision engineering firms generally need batch traceability and controlled handling rather than volume pick-and-pack.
Around 105 miles and roughly an hour and fifty straight up the M6 from our Bilston site in Wolverhampton. Orders released against the afternoon cut-off move overnight for next-day delivery across the PR postcodes.
Chorley at eleven miles, Leyland at six and Blackburn at eleven are the usual additions. Blackpool and the Fylde are reached on the M55 and are commonly included where volume justifies it.
