"Fradley Park was the obvious call for us and WSUK made it painless. The M6 Toll at T5 means our trucks dodge the worst of the M6 and still make Birmingham drops on schedule."
Pick and pack services for Lichfield brands, with late carrier collections off A38 making a 4pm cut-off a real one.
Pick and pack for Lichfield from WSUK: batch, wave or zone picking chosen against your order profile, location and SKU scanned on every pick, and packing to a written spec. Picks from £1.00 (under 3kg), £1.50 (3–19.99kg), £3.95 (20kg+), plus £0.35 order processing. Same-day despatch on a 4pm cut-off via A38, A5, A5127, M6 Toll (T5) and M42 (J9), 45 minutes from the DIRFT core.
A wrong item shipped costs the pick, the outbound carriage, the return carriage, the re-pick and usually the customer. Accuracy is not a nice-to-have.
Single-line orders, multi-line baskets and big batch runs need different methods. We use batch, wave or zone picking depending on your actual order profile rather than one house style.
The picker scans the location and the SKU. If it does not match the order, it does not go in the box — which is how 99.5%+ accuracy is actually achieved.
Box size, void fill, fragile handling and labelling agreed with you and documented, so every parcel leaves the same way regardless of who packed it.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling accounts — pay per pick, no commitment. Long-term contract rates tier down as volume becomes predictable.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Single and multi-line orders under 3kg.

For a cathedral city, Lichfield carries a surprisingly heavy logistics footprint, and the reason is simple: Fradley Park sits on its doorstep. That park has become one of the fastest-growing distribution locations in the Midlands, strung along the A38 with quick reach to the A5 and the M6 Toll at T5. Sitting in Staffordshire's WS13 and WS14 postcodes, Lichfield is roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - further out than the triangle's heart, but firmly plugged into the same motorway grid.
The A38 is Lichfield's backbone, running north towards Burton and south into Birmingham, while the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 give operators a way to skirt the congested central motorway box. That combination is exactly what has drawn big-shed distribution to Fradley Park, alongside Britannia Enterprise Park and the older Trent Valley estate. Together they offer a spread of modern logistics units and light-industrial space within a couple of minutes of a trunk road.
Lichfield's business base is weighted towards distribution, logistics and light manufacturing, and its neighbours reinforce that character. Tamworth's Relay Park lies just east across the M42, Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll, and Burton upon Trent - Britain's brewing capital - is a short run north on the A38. Goods routed through Lichfield can therefore tap into a dense Staffordshire logistics network without ever leaving the A38 corridor for long.
For pick and pack, what matters about Lichfield is the carrier network on the doorstep. Orders in before 4pm are picked, packed and away that afternoon — and every pick is scanned at the location and the SKU, so a mismatch stops at the shelf rather than reaching a customer.

Fradley Park, on the A38 just outside the city, is one of the Midlands' fastest-growing distribution parks. Add the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 and Lichfield gives operators big-shed capacity with a clean run around the central motorway box.
Lichfield sits roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core in the WS13 and WS14 postcodes. It is on the outer edge of the triangle, but the A38 and M6 Toll keep the trunk run into the hub straightforward.
We work across Fradley Park for modern distribution units, Britannia Enterprise Park, and the established Trent Valley estate. That range lets us place light-industrial and larger logistics stock close to the A38 as needed.
Yes. Tamworth's Relay Park is just east over the M42 and Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll. We route between them regularly, so Lichfield works well as a Staffordshire staging point.
It does. Joining at T5 lets vehicles bypass the busiest stretch of the M6 through the conurbation, which makes southbound and Birmingham-bound runs from Lichfield more predictable, especially at peak times.
99.5%+ on managed accounts. The picker scans both the location and the SKU, so a mismatch stops at the shelf rather than reaching a box — and the mis-pick rate is reported to you monthly rather than asserted.
Whichever fits your order profile — batch picking where many orders share SKUs, wave picking against carrier cut-offs, zone picking where the SKU count is large. Send a month of order data and we will tell you which.
Yes — your boxes, tissue, inserts and cards held alongside the product, with plain packing for marketplace orders from the same stock and the same bench.
From £1.00 per pick under 3kg, £1.50 for 3–19.99kg, £3.95 for 20kg+, plus £0.35 order processing. Monthly rolling, no setup fee, no minimum.
4pm for same-day despatch. Late carrier collections from our Golden Triangle warehouse mean an afternoon order still leaves that afternoon.
