"Being near Lode Lane is essential for us. We sequence parts to JLR from a base off the M42 and the just-in-time timing has to be perfect. Solihull's road access makes that reliable every single shift."
Contract assembly serving Solihull and the wider West Midlands: multipacks, gift sets, sub-assemblies and retail displays built before the orders arrive, not during them.
WSUK assembles kits, multipacks and retail displays for Solihull brands — six components in, one sellable barcoded SKU out, which turns a six-line pick into one. From £0.45 per unit for simple builds. M42 (J4–J6), M40, A45 and A34 on the doorstep; we also cover Birmingham and Coventry.
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.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling accounts — pay per unit built. Long-term contract rates tier down on repeat builds where the work instruction is already established.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Multipacks, banded sets and two-to-three component kits.
Multi-component kits, sub-assemblies and light assembly.
Counter units, floor displays and shelf-ready packs.

Solihull occupies a well-heeled slice of the West Midlands across the B90-B93 postcodes, and its logistics story is inseparable from three landmark neighbours: Jaguar Land Rover's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport, all strung along the M42. That motorway, running J4-J6 through the borough, is the spine, joined by the M40, the A45 and the A34. The result is a place where advanced automotive manufacturing, aerospace and business services generate a steady, high-value flow of freight rather than sheer pallet volume alone.
The estates reflect that premium character. Blythe Valley Park is a polished business-park setting off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits close to the airport and NEC, Cranmore serves established industrial tenants, and JLR's Lode Lane operation anchors a whole automotive supply ecosystem around it. Just-in-time delivery is the watchword here - components arriving to a schedule, not a warehouse - so storage and logistics around Solihull often serve as buffer and sequencing space for demanding manufacturing lines rather than long-term bulk holding.
Solihull lies roughly thirty minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, connected through the M42 and M40 toward the heart of the Golden Triangle. That positions it on the triangle's western, Birmingham-facing side, where motorway-box access to the M6, M5, M42 and M40 opens up. For businesses needing to serve JLR, feed the NEC's events calendar or move air-freight through Birmingham Airport, a storage footprint near Solihull combines proximity to those anchors with fast onward reach across the wider Midlands.
For kitting, the argument around Solihull 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 Solihull, plus the questions every kitting & assembly client asks.
Its M42 access (J4-J6) plus the M40, A45 and A34, sitting beside JLR's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport. That combination suits automotive supply, event logistics and air-freight-linked storage across the B90-B93 area.
Very much so. With JLR's Lode Lane plant on the doorstep, storage near Solihull frequently acts as buffer and sequencing space, feeding components to production lines on schedule via the M42 rather than holding long-term bulk.
Blythe Valley Park offers premium space off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits near the airport and NEC, and Cranmore serves established industrial tenants. The right choice depends on whether you prioritise prestige, airport access or straightforward industrial units.
Both are right beside the M42 within the borough, minutes from the main estates. Storage near Solihull is ideal for event stock feeding the NEC or time-sensitive goods moving through Birmingham Airport's cargo operations.
Around thirty minutes via the M42 and M40. That places Solihull on the western, Birmingham-facing edge of the Golden Triangle, with quick onward access into the M6/M5/M42/M40 motorway box.
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 Solihull 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.
