"Market Harborough is perfectly placed for us. The A6 gets our stock up to Leicester and the A14 links down to Kettering, and WSUK handle the storage side so we can just concentrate on making the product."
Kitting for Market Harborough — retail display and POS builds, promotional packs and bundles assembled at our Golden Triangle warehouse on A6.
Contract assembly serving Market Harborough: 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, 25 minutes from DIRFT via A6, A14, A427 and M1 (J20).
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.

Market Harborough plays a quieter but genuinely useful role in the Golden Triangle, sitting on the LE16 border where Leicestershire meets Northamptonshire. The A6 runs through it linking Leicester to the north with the Northamptonshire warehousing belt to the south, while the A14 lies close by as the great East-West freight route. With M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427, the town is around 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - close enough to serve, far enough to offer breathing space away from the busiest sheds.
The town's industrial space is more human-scaled than the mega-parks nearer the motorways. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road handle established light-industrial and trade occupiers, while the Airfield Business Park out towards the former airfield offers newer units. This spread suits businesses that want dependable Midlands connectivity without committing to a vast distribution shed - a practical middle ground between town-centre trade and full-blown warehousing.
Light manufacturing, distribution and food and drink shape Market Harborough's economy, and its position between two logistics regions is its real advantage. Lutterworth and Magna Park sit west towards the M1, Leicester lies north on the A6, and Kettering and Corby - the East Midlands' big warehousing cluster - are a short run south down towards the A14. Goods moving through Market Harborough can therefore bridge the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire supply chains along roads that stay clear of the motorway crush.
For kitting, the argument around Market Harborough is arithmetic rather than geography. A six-component gift set picked loose costs six picks and six chances to grab the wrong thing. Built here in advance and barcoded as one SKU, it costs one — and that gap is what decides whether a campaign clears the same day.

Local answers for Market Harborough, plus the questions every kitting & assembly client asks.
On the LE16 Leicestershire-Northamptonshire border, roughly 25 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. The A6 and A14 give it a foot in two logistics regions, with M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427.
More human-scaled than the motorway mega-parks. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road host established light-industrial occupiers, while Airfield Business Park provides newer units - ideal for firms wanting Midlands reach without a giant shed.
That is exactly its strength. Leicester sits north on the A6, while Kettering and Corby's warehousing cluster lie south towards the A14, so goods routed through Market Harborough bridge both supply chains on quieter roads.
Via the A427 across to Junction 20, which also puts Lutterworth and Magna Park within easy reach to the west. It is a short, generally clear run that avoids the heaviest motorway sections around the hub.
Yes - food and drink is one of the town's core sectors, and its A6/A14 position lets producers reach both the Leicester conurbation and the Northamptonshire distribution belt without long motorway hauls.
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 Market Harborough 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.
