"Working out of Tyseley gives us the whole motorway box on tap. Spaghetti Junction sounds chaotic but it's the reason we can serve the South West on the M5 and the north on the M6 the same afternoon."
Contract assembly serving Birmingham and the wider West Midlands: multipacks, gift sets, sub-assemblies and retail displays built before the orders arrive, not during them.
Contract assembly serving Birmingham: bundles, gift sets, sub-assemblies, POS and shelf-ready builds, with component-level stock visibility so you know how many kits you can actually make. Assembly from £0.45, de-kitting available, 35 minutes from DIRFT via M6 (J6 Spaghetti Junction), M5, M42, M40 and A38(M) Aston Expressway.
Assembly done before the orders arrive is cheap. Assembly done during a rush is what makes a peak fall over.
Parts received, counted against your bill of materials and held as components, so you always know how many finished kits you can actually build.
Kits assembled to a written spec and barcoded as one finished SKU — which is what lets a complex product be picked as a single line.
Counter units, shelf-ready packs and promotional displays built, filled and wrapped ready to ship into a retail account.

Birmingham is the gravitational centre of the West Midlands motorway box, the point where the M6, M5, M42 and M40 effectively encircle a single conurbation. Spaghetti Junction - M6 Junction 6 - is the most photographed interchange in Britain for good reason: it stitches the Aston Expressway (A38(M)) into the national network and channels an extraordinary volume of freight in every direction. For anyone moving goods, a B-postcode address means you are never far from a motorway on-ramp, whichever compass point you are heading for.
The city's industrial geography is spread across long-established estates. Tyseley remains a workhorse of manufacturing and recycling in the east; Witton and Aston carry the north's engineering legacy; and Erdington Industrial Park adds distribution and light-industrial space further out. This breadth reflects Birmingham's economy - automotive supply, wholesale, general manufacturing and, increasingly, e-commerce fulfilment all coexist. Unit availability ranges from tight urban workshops to larger sheds, giving operators real choice about how close to the core they sit.
From the Golden Triangle, Birmingham is roughly 35 minutes away, which places it just outside the tightest DIRFT cluster but squarely within the region's daily distribution rhythm. The M42 skirts the city's south-east, connecting to the M40 for London and the M5 for the South West and Wales. Solihull, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Coventry all sit within the same orbit, so a load consolidated in Birmingham can fan out across the whole West Midlands - and beyond - without ever leaving fast dual-carriageway or motorway.
Assembly work sits well alongside storage, and for Birmingham brands that means components can land, be counted against the bill of materials and go straight to the build bench without a separate supplier or an extra freight movement in between.

Local answers for Birmingham, plus the questions every kitting & assembly client asks.
Because the M6, M5, M42 and M40 effectively wrap around the conurbation, meeting at Spaghetti Junction (M6 J6) and the Aston Expressway. Whatever direction a load needs to travel, a motorway on-ramp is close, which is why the city is such a natural distribution centre.
It depends on your routes. Tyseley suits eastern and M42-bound work, Witton and Aston serve the northern M6 corridor, and Erdington Industrial Park offers distribution space with quick Spaghetti Junction access. The right B-postcode really comes down to which motorway you use most.
About 35 minutes to the DIRFT and Rugby core, mainly via the M6. That keeps Birmingham inside the daily trunking window while giving businesses access to the second city's far larger labour pool and wholesale market.
Yes - the city has become a genuine e-commerce and wholesale hub. Its motorway box means next-day fan-out across the whole country is realistic, with the M42/M40 handling southern and London traffic and the M6 covering the north.
Very much so. The M5 runs south-west towards Bristol and Wales, while the M42 links to the M40 for a fast run down to London. Both are reachable within minutes of most industrial areas around the city.
Multipacks and banded sets, gift and starter kits, sub-assemblies, promotional packs, and retail display or POS units built and filled to the retailer’s spec. Simple assembly from £0.45 per unit; complex builds quoted once we have seen the spec.
A written work instruction agreed with you, a first-off sample approved before the run starts, and a QC check per batch. Components are counted against your bill of materials at goods-in, so shortages surface before the build rather than during it.
Yes — the kit becomes its own SKU with its own barcode and stock figure, which is what turns a six-component product into a single pick line when the orders arrive.
Yes, and it is worth planning. Tell us the launch date and the build is finished beforehand, so a spike in Birmingham orders clears the same day instead of backing up behind assembly work.
Yes. De-kitting returns components to stock as individual SKUs, which usually beats discounting a seasonal set. Component storage is from £4.50 per pallet per week.
