Raunds sits where the A45 meets the A14 at Junction 13, home to Warth Park — a 160-acre big-box logistics hub. WSUK recruits drivers, warehouse and transport staff for its distribution centres on permanent and contract terms, from single hires to volume campaigns.
WSUK recruits logistics staff for Raunds employers — HGV (C+E/C) and multi-drop van drivers, warehouse operatives, FLT operators, transport planners, supervisors and operations managers — on permanent and contract terms, for single vacancies or volume campaigns. From Warth Park's big-box distribution centres to units off Kimbolton Road, beside the A45 and A14 (J13), we deliver vetted, referenced shortlists fast.
Raunds punches far above its size in logistics terms because of Warth Park, a 160-acre distribution park beside the A45 where the road meets the A14 at Junction 13. Warth Park's big-box sheds are occupied by names such as Howdens, DSV, Muller, DPD, Whirlpool and Dr Martens (AirWair), making it one of east Northamptonshire's most significant employment sites. The A45 links Raunds west to Wellingborough, Rushden and Northampton and east to the A1 near Thrapston, while the A14 opens the route to Kettering, the M1/M6 and the Felixstowe container ports. A former boot-and-shoe town on the edge of the Nene Valley, Raunds now draws its workforce from Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough and Wellingborough within a short commute.
Warth Park's scale drives demand across the full range of logistics roles. Its national distribution centres recruit C+E trunk drivers, multi-drop van drivers and warehouse operatives in numbers, alongside FLT operators, transport planners, shift supervisors and warehouse managers. Because a handful of large occupiers dominate a small town, competition for reliable staff — and retaining them — is intense. WSUK builds vetted, referenced shortlists for permanent and contract roles, whether an employer needs one FLT-ticketed operative or a volume intake to launch a new shift, matching candidates to pay and pattern so Raunds sites stay fully staffed.

Raunds is effectively a one-park logistics town, and Warth Park's occupiers compete for the same east-Northamptonshire labour pool.
