For Lichfield senders: storage, pick and pack, parcel preparation, carrier despatch, tracking and returns run as one operation, run from inside the Midlands Golden Triangle.
WSUK provides parcel services for businesses in Lichfield, Staffordshire, from a Golden Triangle warehouse roughly 45 minutes away via A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9). We cover storage, pick and pack, parcel preparation, carrier despatch, tracking and returns run as one operation. Lichfield is a cathedral city whose Fradley Park has become a significant distribution location, and senders around Fradley Park and Britannia Enterprise Park (WS13–WS14) use us to get orders onto an evening collection on a 4pm cut-off.
Understanding despatch from Lichfield starts with its shape. The town is a cathedral city whose Fradley Park has become a significant distribution location, and Fradley Park and Britannia Enterprise Park concentrate the businesses that actually ship, across WS13–WS14. Holding inventory with us instead of in a Lichfield unit usually wins on cost once you price the racking, the forklift and the hours, not just the floor space.
Access is via A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9). Because the warehouse sits where the national sortation hubs sit, parcels enter the network late and still make the overnight sort — which is the whole mechanism behind a real cut-off.
The gain for Lichfield is time, not distance. At roughly 45 minutes, Lichfield sits within a single trunk leg of the warehouse.
The Lichfield businesses that come to us for parcel services tend to arrive at the same point: despatch has outgrown the people doing it, and accuracy slips as volume rises.
We cover Cannock, Burton upon Trent and Birmingham from the same building, so a business with customers across Staffordshire deals with one operation rather than several.

Where our Lichfield volume comes from in practice.
Before anything ships, your stock has to arrive properly. Deliveries from Lichfield are counted in, discrepancies raised the same day, and put away to a location rather than a vague aisle.
Reporting is per order rather than per month. You can see what left, when, on which carrier, and what came back — without asking us.
Most Staffordshire clients go live within two to three weeks. The time goes on stock transfer, integration and a test run, not on paperwork.
