"Market Harborough is perfectly placed for us. The A6 gets our stock up to Leicester and the A14 links down to Kettering, and WSUK handle the storage side so we can just concentrate on making the product."
The pick floor for Market Harborough and Leicestershire: 99.5%+ accuracy, written packing specs and right-sized boxes, 25 minutes from the DIRFT core.
Pick and pack for Market Harborough 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 A6, A14, A427 and M1 (J20), 25 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.

Market Harborough plays a quieter but genuinely useful role in the Golden Triangle, sitting on the LE16 border where Leicestershire meets Northamptonshire. The A6 runs through it linking Leicester to the north with the Northamptonshire warehousing belt to the south, while the A14 lies close by as the great East-West freight route. With M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427, the town is around 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - close enough to serve, far enough to offer breathing space away from the busiest sheds.
The town's industrial space is more human-scaled than the mega-parks nearer the motorways. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road handle established light-industrial and trade occupiers, while the Airfield Business Park out towards the former airfield offers newer units. This spread suits businesses that want dependable Midlands connectivity without committing to a vast distribution shed - a practical middle ground between town-centre trade and full-blown warehousing.
Light manufacturing, distribution and food and drink shape Market Harborough's economy, and its position between two logistics regions is its real advantage. Lutterworth and Magna Park sit west towards the M1, Leicester lies north on the A6, and Kettering and Corby - the East Midlands' big warehousing cluster - are a short run south down towards the A14. Goods moving through Market Harborough can therefore bridge the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire supply chains along roads that stay clear of the motorway crush.
For pick and pack, what matters about Market Harborough 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.

On the LE16 Leicestershire-Northamptonshire border, roughly 25 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. The A6 and A14 give it a foot in two logistics regions, with M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427.
More human-scaled than the motorway mega-parks. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road host established light-industrial occupiers, while Airfield Business Park provides newer units - ideal for firms wanting Midlands reach without a giant shed.
That is exactly its strength. Leicester sits north on the A6, while Kettering and Corby's warehousing cluster lie south towards the A14, so goods routed through Market Harborough bridge both supply chains on quieter roads.
Via the A427 across to Junction 20, which also puts Lutterworth and Magna Park within easy reach to the west. It is a short, generally clear run that avoids the heaviest motorway sections around the hub.
Yes - food and drink is one of the town's core sectors, and its A6/A14 position lets producers reach both the Leicester conurbation and the Northamptonshire distribution belt without long motorway hauls.
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.
