"You simply cannot beat Rugby for reach. M6 one way, M1 the other, DIRFT down the road for rail. Our vehicles cover most of Britain from a Swift Valley base within a single shift. It's the reason we're here."
Stock control serving Rugby and Warwickshire: every unit located, every pick scanned, variance investigated rather than absorbed, and reporting by SKU, batch and expiry.
WSUK holds and counts stock for Rugby businesses to 99.5%+ accuracy — no annual stocktake shutdown, batch and expiry tracked, min/max reorder alerts and ageing reports. M6 (J1), M1 (J18), A5, A426 and A428 on the doorstep; we also cover Crick and Daventry.
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 →
Rugby is the pivot on which the entire Golden Triangle turns. Here, in the CV21-CV23 postcodes, the M6 at Junction 1 and the M1 at Junction 18 sit within a few miles of one another, and the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal - DIRFT - lands road and rail freight practically on the town's doorstep. Add the A5 Watling Street, the A426 and the A428, and Rugby becomes the single most connected node for national distribution in Britain. This is not the edge of the triangle; it is the literal core.
The town's estates read like a distribution roll-call. Central Park and Swift Valley sit close to the M6 approach, Somers Road serves lighter industrial and trade users, and DIRFT itself dominates the northern skyline with vast rail-served sheds where containers move seamlessly between train and lorry. Historically Rugby was cement-and-construction country - the giant works still marks the town - but rail freight and national distribution now define its economy. Neighbours Crick, Daventry and Lutterworth extend the same warehousing DNA in every direction.
Being only around five minutes from the DIRFT core, Rugby offers something almost no other UK town can: dual-motorway access plus a live rail-freight interchange within a single postcode area. That means a pallet leaving a Rugby shed can be northbound on the M6, southbound on the M1, or loaded onto a train to Scotland or the ports, all from the same yard. For any operator chasing genuine national next-day reach, this is the address that the whole 'four-hour-drive-to-most-of-Britain' logic was built around.
WSUK holds located stock for businesses across Rugby and Warwickshire with min/max reorder alerts and ageing reports. The practical benefit is not the counting itself — it is that buying stops being a guess and overselling stops being a monthly event.

Local answers for Rugby, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
Because the M6 Junction 1 and M1 Junction 18 practically meet here, and DIRFT rail freight sits minutes away. From Rugby you can reach most of the UK population within a single HGV driving shift - the defining logic of the Golden Triangle.
Yes. DIRFT, right on Rugby's doorstep, is one of Britain's premier rail-freight terminals, transferring containers between train and lorry daily. Storing near Rugby lets you feed rail services to Scotland, the North and the ports without long feeder drives.
Central Park and Swift Valley sit close to the M6 for larger distribution use, DIRFT handles rail-served national operations, and Somers Road serves lighter industrial and trade tenants. The right fit depends on load size and whether you need rail access.
Within minutes on both. Rugby is unusual in offering the M6 (J1) and M1 (J18) so close together, plus the A5 and A426. That dual-motorway access is exactly why national carriers cluster their sheds here.
It is arguably the best base in the country for it. With DIRFT, two motorways and central England geography, a five-minute hub drive puts you at the heart of the network the entire UK next-day model is built upon.
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.
