"Our storage in Derby has to move in step with production, not against it. Being minutes from Sinfin and straight onto the A38 lets us feed the line without holding weeks of buffer stock we don't need."
One warehouse behind every channel a Derby brand sells on: live inventory sync, one pick queue, same-day despatch, 50 minutes from the DIRFT Golden-Triangle core.
WSUK runs eCommerce fulfilment for Derby brands from one pool across every channel — one pick queue, live inventory sync, branded packing for D2C and plain for marketplaces. From £1.00 per pick plus £0.35, integration £150/week. A38, A50, A52 and M1 (J24–J25) on the doorstep; we also cover Nottingham and Burton upon Trent.
Splitting stock between channels is how brands end up oversold on one and out of stock on another. A single pool fixes both.
Every channel reads the same available quantity, updated as orders are picked — so a unit sold on TikTok Shop disappears from your Shopify listing immediately.
Orders flow in from every channel into one pick queue and leave the same working day against a 4pm cut-off, with tracking pushed back automatically.
Add a marketplace and the warehouse side is a configuration change, not a new supplier, a new contract and a stock transfer.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling accounts — pay per order, no commitment. Long-term contract rates tier down as volume becomes predictable.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.

Derby holds a different position in the logistics picture from the Northamptonshire towns further south. This is an engineering city first and foremost, home to Rolls-Royce, Toyota and Alstom, and its warehousing exists to serve serious manufacturing supply chains. Spread across the DE1 to DE24 postcodes, the city leans on the A38 and A52 for its internal arteries and reaches the M1 at Junctions 24 and 25 via the A50, which sweeps east to west across the bottom of the city and on towards Stoke and the M6.
The industrial estates tell the story of that manufacturing base. Raynesway, Sinfin, Pride Park and Wyvern host aerospace suppliers, rail-sector fabricators and automotive tiers that need storage tuned to production schedules rather than pure e-commerce throughput. Nottingham sits close to the east, with Burton upon Trent, Leicester and Loughborough all within comfortable reach. At around 50 minutes from the DIRFT core, Derby is one of the outer points of the wider Golden Triangle, better suited to regional and just-in-time supply than to national next-day pallet networks.
That A50 corridor is the detail that matters most for anyone moving goods through Derby. It links the A38 and the M1 in the east to the M6 and the Potteries in the west, making the city a genuine cross-Midlands pivot rather than a north-south one. Combine that with the A52 running through to Nottingham and the A38 heading south towards Burton and Birmingham, and Derby offers a road network built for feeding advanced manufacturing rather than simply passing freight through.
For multi-channel sellers, Derby's position is about despatch speed, but the harder problem is stock. We hold one pool here and push live availability to every channel you sell on, so the last unit cannot be sold twice — which is what causes the cancellations that damage marketplace accounts.

Via the A38 and A50 to Junctions 24 and 25. The A50 is the key route, running east-west across the south of the city and linking the M1 with the M6 and Stoke, which makes Derby a cross-Midlands crossing point rather than a purely north-south one.
Manufacturing-focused storage. With Rolls-Royce, Toyota and Alstom nearby, Derby's demand centres on aerospace, rail and automotive supply. Estates like Sinfin and Raynesway hold components and sub-assemblies feeding production lines rather than general parcel stock.
Raynesway, Sinfin, Pride Park and Wyvern are the principal industrial and business areas. They span the DE postcodes and sit close to the A38 and A52, keeping them well linked to both the city's plants and the M1.
It sits on the outer edge, roughly 50 minutes from the DIRFT core. That makes it excellent for East Midlands regional supply and just-in-time manufacturing feeds, though towns nearer Rugby are stronger for national next-day pallet networks.
Yes. Nottingham is a quick hop east on the A52, and Burton upon Trent lies south on the A38 towards Birmingham. Leicester and Loughborough are also within a straightforward regional radius by road.
Yes — your own store plus Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Temu and Shopify all pull into one pick queue from a single stock pool held at our Golden Triangle warehouse. One count, one invoice, no allocating stock by channel.
Live availability. The moment a unit is allocated to a pick it leaves the figure pushed to every channel, so the last one cannot sell twice — which is what causes the cancellations that damage marketplace accounts.
Same working day on a 4pm cut-off. Late carrier collections mean a Derby brand’s afternoon orders still make that day’s despatch and land on a next-day service.
Picks from £1.00 under 3kg, £1.50 for 3–19.99kg, £3.95 for 20kg+, plus £0.35 order processing. Storage from £4.50/pallet/week, integration £150/week covering all channels, returns from £1.25.
Yes — D2C orders ship in your boxes with your inserts while marketplace orders ship plain, from the same stock. We hold your packaging alongside your product in Derby’s nearest WSUK warehouse.
