"Nottingham lets us cover the East Midlands and the North from one roof. Three M1 junctions on our doorstep and Derby half an hour down the A52 - it's the perfect handover point between the triangle and the North."
Stock control serving Nottingham and Nottinghamshire: every unit located, every pick scanned, variance investigated rather than absorbed, and reporting by SKU, batch and expiry.
Stock control serving Nottingham: every unit located, counted continuously and reconciled, with live availability pushed to every channel so you cannot oversell. Full stocktakes quoted per count, reporting and integration from £150 per week. 50 minutes from DIRFT via M1 (J24–J26), A52, A60, A453 and A46.
Inventory accuracy is not a warehouse vanity metric. It is what decides whether you oversell, over-order, or discover a problem at year end.
A rolling programme that counts fast-moving lines often and everything periodically — instead of one disruptive annual stocktake that tells you about last year.
When a count disagrees with the system we find out why — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, theft — because the reason is worth more than the adjustment.
Min/max levels set with you and alerted against, plus SKU, batch and expiry reporting so slow movers and short-dated stock surface early.
Inventory management is included on managed fulfilment accounts and priced separately where we hold stock only. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling; long-term contract rates tier down with pallet volume.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Located storage with perpetual cycle counting.
A complete wall-to-wall count where you need one.
Live stock pushed to your systems and channels.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
Nottingham sits at the northern reach of the Golden Triangle's pull, about 50 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core but firmly plugged into the M1 at Junctions 24, 25 and 26. The A52 links the city east toward the coast and west to Derby, while the A453 and A46 carry freight down to the M1 and across to Leicester. With NG postcodes spanning a large urban area, it offers a scale of workforce and market that the smaller triangle towns simply can't.
This is a city with genuine industrial weight behind it. Boots has its enormous campus at Beeston, Games Workshop is headquartered here, and estates such as Colwick, Blenheim, Bilborough and Beeston host a broad mix of manufacturing, e-commerce and distribution. The River Trent and the old canal network shaped where industry settled, and today those riverside and edge-of-city estates give operators sizeable units within a short run of the motorway network.
For anyone distributing across the East Midlands and the North, Nottingham earns its place. Derby lies just to the west on the A52, Leicester sits south down the M1, and Loughborough and Ilkeston fill in the map between. It is the point where the Golden Triangle's warehousing corridor hands off to the northern half of the country - a logical staging post for loads heading beyond the traditional Midlands belt.
The value of accurate stock around Nottingham is mostly invisible until it fails: a cancelled marketplace order, emergency freight on a line that ran out, or a write-off at year end nobody budgeted for. Perpetual counting prevents all three far more cheaply than discovering them does.

Local answers for Nottingham, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
Directly, at three junctions - 24, 25 and 26 - via the A453, A52 and A610. That multi-junction access means a Nottingham base can pick the cleanest route south to the Golden Triangle or north toward Sheffield and Leeds depending on the load.
It sits at the northern edge, roughly 50 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, which actually makes it valuable. It's the natural staging point for distributing beyond the traditional Midlands belt into the North while still tapping triangle infrastructure.
Colwick, Blenheim, Bilborough and Beeston all carry warehousing and industrial space. Beeston in particular sits near the Boots campus, and most of these estates are a short run from the A52 and the M1 junctions.
Both are quick. Derby is roughly half an hour west on the A52, and Leicester a similar run south down the M1. That triangle of NG, DE and LE postcodes lets operators cover a huge slice of the East Midlands from one base.
Yes - that's a key advantage. The M1 runs straight up to Sheffield and Leeds, and the A46 and A52 open up the wider East Midlands, so Nottingham works as a launch point for northern deliveries as well as Golden Triangle work.
Fixed locations, barcode verification on every pick, and a perpetual cycle-count programme weighted so your fastest-moving SKUs are checked most often. We work to 99.5%+ on managed accounts.
No. Counting runs continuously against the live operation, so there is no stocktake weekend, no overtime and no backlog afterwards. Full wall-to-wall counts are available separately if an audit needs one.
It is investigated before anything is adjusted, and the cause is recorded — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, short delivery. You authorise the adjustment. The cause report is what stops it recurring.
Yes — batch, lot and expiry tracked where your products need it, with short-dated stock flagged while it can still be sold.
Located storage with cycle counting from £4.50 per pallet per week, reporting and integration from £150 per week, full stocktakes quoted per count. Monthly rolling, no setup fee.
