"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."
Multi-channel fulfilment for Rugby — parcels, cases and pallets from one located pool, with live allocation so no unit is ever promised twice, via M6 (J1).
Multi-channel fulfilment for Rugby from WSUK: one located pool serving parcels, cases and pallets, with availability computed live so a trade order and a consumer order cannot claim the same unit. Picks from £1.00 plus £0.35, pallets from £12.50, integration £150 per week covering every channel. Via M6 (J1), M1 (J18), A5, A426 and A428, 5 minutes from the DIRFT core.
Two marketplaces is an integration problem. A marketplace plus a retailer plus your own site is an allocation problem — a different and harder one.
One physical pool with availability computed live, so a trade order for 40 cases and a consumer order for one unit cannot both be promised the last pallet.
Each route keeps its own rules — marketplace cut-offs and tracking upload, D2C branded packing, retail labelling, ASN and booked delivery.
Eaches, cases and full pallets picked from the same stock on the same day, because that is what selling everywhere actually requires.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling. Long-term contract rates tier down as combined volume across your channels builds — which is usually faster than any single channel alone.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Marketplace and D2C single-parcel orders.
Case, layer and pallet picking for trade.
Every channel connected to one live pool.

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.
For multi-channel sellers near Rugby, the hard part is not connecting the channels — it is deciding who gets the stock. One located pool here with live allocation means a retailer's forty cases and a marketplace surge cannot both be promised the same pallet.

Local answers for Rugby, plus the questions every multi-channel fulfilment 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.
Yes — that is the point of this service. Single parcels, cases and full pallets all pick from the same located stock, with availability computed live so a trade order and a consumer order cannot claim the same unit.
Yes. Marketplace cut-offs and tracking upload, branded packing for your own D2C orders, retailer labelling and ASN for trade — each route keeps its own obligations while drawing on one inventory.
eCommerce fulfilment is several online channels all shipping parcels. This is for when the order shapes genuinely differ — parcels, cases and pallets — where allocation, not integration, is the hard part.
Parcel picks from £1.00 plus £0.35 processing, pallets from £12.50 built and wrapped, storage from £4.50 per pallet per week, integration £150 per week covering every channel.
Yes — everything is line-itemed, so a Rugby seller can see exactly what a marketplace order costs versus a retail pallet, which is usually the number that drives the commercial decision.
