"Our prototype parts can't sit around, and Junction 15 puts the M40 right on our doorstep. Warwick gives us the fast links we need without dragging us into a heavy industrial estate."
Cross-docking 25 minutes from the DIRFT core — one handling operation instead of a put-away, a storage charge and a pick.
Same-day cross-dock serving Warwick: one handling operation instead of a put-away, a weekly storage charge and a pick. 25 minutes from DIRFT via M40 (J15), A46, A425 and A429.
Cross-docking is a timing discipline. The goods only stay still long enough to be sorted into the right outbound lane.
Containers and full loads devanned, checked against the manifest and broken down into the units your outbound actually needs.
Cargo re-sorted by customer, route or retailer, and consolidated with other inbound so each outbound vehicle leaves full.
Loaded back out the same working day against your delivery plan, with paperwork and labelling done before the vehicle arrives.
Cross-docking is priced on handling rather than storage, because nothing is stored. Short-term rate card covers ad-hoc and project flows; long-term contract rates apply to regular scheduled lanes where volumes are predictable.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Unloaded, checked against manifest and broken down.
Sorted by route or customer and rebuilt for outbound.
For anything that cannot go straight back out.

Warwick wears its history openly - the castle, the medieval streets, the Warwickshire county town poise - but underneath the postcard sits a serious engineering economy. The M40 meets the town at Junction 15, the A46 runs north toward Coventry, and the A425 and A429 handle the local spokes. For a place best known for its keep, Warwick (CV34 and CV35) is remarkably well plumbed into the national road network.
Just 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, Warwick sits comfortably inside the Golden Triangle's active zone. Leamington Spa is effectively conjoined next door, Coventry is a straight run up the A46, Kenilworth sits between the two, and Stratford-upon-Avon lies to the south-west. Business is concentrated at Warwick Technology Park, the Heathcote Industrial Estate and Tournament Fields - addresses that lean toward clean, high-value occupiers rather than heavy pallet-in, pallet-out operations.
That character defines the town's logistics needs. Precision engineering, automotive research and development, and business-services firms dominate, feeding off the same talent pool that powers neighbouring Leamington's games studios and the wider Warwickshire tech corridor. Goods moving through CV34 tend to be specialist, valuable and sensitive - prototype parts, instrumentation, controlled components - the sort that reward a fast M40 or A46 link and careful handling over sheer bulk throughput.
For cross-docking, Warwick's position is the whole point: this is where inbound from the ports and outbound to the rest of the country naturally meet. Goods are received, re-sorted against your routes and loaded back out the same day, never entering storage.

Local answers for Warwick, plus the questions every cross-docking client asks.
The M40 meets Warwick at Junction 15, on the town's eastern side. From there the A46 heads north to Coventry and the A429 runs south, so CV34 and CV35 businesses reach the motorway and the wider region within a few minutes.
Very - Warwick and Leamington Spa effectively run into one another. That proximity means firms can serve both towns, and the Silicon Spa games and tech cluster next door, from a single Warwick base without adding meaningful drive-time.
Warwick skews toward precision engineering, automotive R&D and business services, clustered at sites like Warwick Technology Park and Tournament Fields. These occupiers typically move high-value, sensitive goods rather than bulk freight, shaping how storage and handling are best arranged.
Coventry is a direct run north up the A46, well under half an hour in normal traffic. That link ties Warwick into Coventry's automotive and manufacturing base and on toward the M6, extending CV34's reach across the northern triangle.
Yes. At around 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, Warwick sits firmly within the Golden Triangle's active zone, giving CV34 and CV35 firms genuine national-distribution reach alongside the M40 and A46 corridors.
Inbound arrives at our Golden Triangle warehouse, is checked against the manifest as it comes off, re-sorted against your outbound routes or customers, and loaded back out the same working day. Nothing is put away, so there is no storage charge.
When the stock already has a destination before it lands — allocated retail orders, multi-supplier consolidation, pre-sold containers. If it still has to wait for demand, ordinary storage is cheaper and simpler.
Container devanning, manifest check and break-down from £75 per container, palletising from £12.50, wrap and band £3.50. Re-sort and consolidation is quoted per flow. No storage charge, because nothing is stored.
Yes — inbound from multiple suppliers is combined into full outbound loads by destination, which cuts vehicle numbers and cost per drop for Warwick distributors running regular lanes.
It drops into storage in the same building from £4.50 per pallet per week, handled by the same team. Nothing gets stranded and nothing has to be sent back.
