"Basing our DC at Magna Park put us minutes from Junction 20 and the whole triangle. WSUK manage our overspill so cleanly we barely notice the peaks anymore."
Freight forwarding into Lutterworth with a warehouse at the end of it — unloaded, counted against your PO and put away ready to pick, without changing companies.
Import and export forwarding serving Lutterworth: the ports feeding M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1) are Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool and Immingham, and cargo can come straight into our warehouse 15 minutes from DIRFT to be unloaded, checked and put away ready to pick.
Most freight problems happen in the handover between suppliers. The fix is for the handovers to be internal.
The right mode for the cargo and the deadline — air when it has to be there, sea for volume, road for Europe — arranged as one movement rather than three bookings.
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and customs entries prepared and checked before the goods move, not after they are held.
Most forwarders hand you cargo at a dock. We can take it straight into our own building, unload it, check it and hold it.
Freight is quoted per movement because the routing, mode and commodity decide the cost. What is fixed is the handling at this end — unloading, checking and storage all run on the published WSUK rate card.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Full and part container loads, port to door.
Deadline-driven air freight and European groupage.
Unload, count against PO and QC before put-away.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
Few towns sit closer to the beating heart of UK distribution than Lutterworth. Magna Park - the country's largest dedicated distribution park - lies right beside it, and the whole town hangs off M1 Junction 20 in the LE17 postcode, barely 15 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core. Add the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 tracing Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach, and you have one of the most connected logistics addresses anywhere in the Golden Triangle.
Magna Park is the defining feature. Home to some of the biggest sheds in Britain and a roll-call of national retailers' distribution centres, it has made Lutterworth a byword for large-scale warehousing and 3PL operations. Beyond the flagship park, the Mere Lane estate offers more accessible industrial space, so businesses that don't need a Magna Park mega-shed can still base themselves minutes from Junction 20 and the same motorway network.
The town's whole economy is built around national distribution, third-party logistics and warehousing - this is a place that exists to move pallets efficiently. Rugby and Crick are a short skip down towards DIRFT, Hinckley sits west, Leicester lies north up the A426, and Market Harborough is a cross-country run east. Because Lutterworth is so tightly wound into the M1 at Junction 20, goods staged here can reach the entire triangle core before many operators elsewhere have even cleared their yard.
The reason import stock lands in this part of the country is that Leicestershire is where the ports and the national distribution network meet. For a Lutterworth importer that means shorter inland legs, cheaper drayage and stock that is sellable sooner.

Local answers for Lutterworth, plus the questions every freight forwarding client asks.
It sits right on M1 Junction 20 beside Magna Park, the UK's largest dedicated distribution park, and is only about 15 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. Few LE17 addresses are better wired into the national motorway network.
Not at all. Magna Park suits large-scale 3PL and national DCs, but the Mere Lane estate offers more modest industrial units minutes from Junction 20 - so we can match smaller operations to the same excellent connectivity.
Very fast. With Junction 20 on the doorstep and Rugby, Crick and DIRFT just down the M1 and A5, stock staged in Lutterworth can reach the heart of the Golden Triangle in well under 15 minutes.
The M1 at Junction 20 is the main artery, with the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 along Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach for westbound and Birmingham-bound loads.
It is arguably the ideal spot for it. Magna Park was purpose-built for exactly this kind of high-volume, multi-client warehousing, and its position at Junction 20 lets 3PL operators serve the whole Midlands from a single base.
Yes — collection at origin, main carriage by air, sea or road, customs documentation, and delivery into Lutterworth or straight into our Golden Triangle warehouse. One point of contact and one invoice for the whole movement.
Usually Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool or Immingham by sea, and East Midlands, Birmingham or Heathrow by air — all of which feed the motorway network serving Lutterworth directly.
Yes. Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and import or export entries are prepared and checked before the goods move, and we coordinate clearance with the broker.
Freight itself is quoted per movement, since mode, routing and commodity decide it. Handling at this end is published: container unloading and QC from £75, palletising from £12.50, storage from £4.50 per pallet per week.
Yes, and most Lutterworth importers prefer it. It is unloaded, counted against your PO, inspected, palletised and put away ready to pick — no second company and no waiting for a booking slot somewhere else.
