"Relay Park is the reason we chose Tamworth. Straight onto the M42, and the M6 Toll lets us skip the Birmingham crawl entirely. Our southbound schedules have never been more predictable. First-class distribution address."
Freight forwarding for Tamworth importers — air, sea and road arranged door to door, customs documentation handled, delivered into Tamworth or straight into our warehouse.
Import and export forwarding serving Tamworth: the ports feeding M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3) are Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool and Immingham, and cargo can come straight into our warehouse 40 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.

Tamworth stakes its logistics reputation on Relay Park, a landmark distribution address that has become one of the most recognisable big-shed locations in the Midlands. Sitting across the B77-B79 postcodes in Staffordshire, the town commands a genuinely strong road position: the M42 at Junction 10, the historic A5 Watling Street and the M6 Toll at T3 all converge here, giving national operators fast, congestion-avoiding access in every direction. National distribution, logistics and manufacturing form the backbone of local employment.
Beyond Relay Park, the Tame Valley Industrial Estate and the Amington area add further industrial and warehousing capacity, spreading logistics activity across the town rather than concentrating it in one spot. The M6 Toll is the quiet advantage - offering a reliable bypass of the notoriously congested Birmingham stretch of the M6 - while the A5 provides an alternative trunk route east and west. Neighbours Lichfield, Cannock, Nuneaton and Atherstone share the same distribution-corridor character, reinforcing this northern Warwickshire-Staffordshire border as serious warehousing country.
From Tamworth, the DIRFT and Rugby core is around forty minutes away, placing the town on the north-western reach of the Golden Triangle. That drive-time keeps Tamworth firmly within the national distribution catchment while giving it the added edge of M6 Toll access for operators who value predictable transit over the shortest theoretical route. With Relay Park's scale, three strategic road links and neighbouring logistics towns all around, Tamworth earns its standing as a heavyweight Midlands distribution address.
The reason import stock lands in this part of the country is that Staffordshire is where the ports and the national distribution network meet. For a Tamworth importer that means shorter inland legs, cheaper drayage and stock that is sellable sooner.

Relay Park is a landmark national distribution address and Tamworth's flagship logistics location, drawing major operators to its big-shed units. Sitting by the M42 J10 and A5, it's a prime base for warehousing serving the whole Midlands and beyond.
The M42 at Junction 10, the A5 Watling Street and the M6 Toll at T3 all meet at Tamworth. That gives operators fast, flexible routing across the B77-B79 area, with the Toll offering a reliable alternative to the congested M6 through Birmingham.
Considerably. The M6 Toll (T3) lets Tamworth-based vehicles bypass the heavily congested Birmingham stretch of the M6, giving more predictable transit times - a real advantage for scheduled national distribution and time-critical loads.
Tame Valley Industrial Estate and the Amington area both provide industrial and warehousing space, spreading capacity across the town. The best fit depends on unit size and whether you need Relay Park's motorway-front profile or a more standard industrial setting.
About forty minutes via the M42 and A5 links. That puts Tamworth on the north-western edge of the Golden Triangle, well within national distribution range and with the bonus of M6 Toll access for smoother southern transits.
Yes — collection at origin, main carriage by air, sea or road, customs documentation, and delivery into Tamworth 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 Tamworth 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.

Yes, and most Tamworth 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.
