"Being near Lode Lane is essential for us. We sequence parts to JLR from a base off the M42 and the just-in-time timing has to be perfect. Solihull's road access makes that reliable every single shift."
Pick and pack services for Solihull brands, with late carrier collections off M42 (J4–J6) making a 4pm cut-off a real one.
Pick and pack for Solihull 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 M42 (J4–J6), M40, A45 and A34, 30 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.
The bulk of typical order volume.

Solihull occupies a well-heeled slice of the West Midlands across the B90-B93 postcodes, and its logistics story is inseparable from three landmark neighbours: Jaguar Land Rover's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport, all strung along the M42. That motorway, running J4-J6 through the borough, is the spine, joined by the M40, the A45 and the A34. The result is a place where advanced automotive manufacturing, aerospace and business services generate a steady, high-value flow of freight rather than sheer pallet volume alone.
The estates reflect that premium character. Blythe Valley Park is a polished business-park setting off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits close to the airport and NEC, Cranmore serves established industrial tenants, and JLR's Lode Lane operation anchors a whole automotive supply ecosystem around it. Just-in-time delivery is the watchword here - components arriving to a schedule, not a warehouse - so storage and logistics around Solihull often serve as buffer and sequencing space for demanding manufacturing lines rather than long-term bulk holding.
Solihull lies roughly thirty minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, connected through the M42 and M40 toward the heart of the Golden Triangle. That positions it on the triangle's western, Birmingham-facing side, where motorway-box access to the M6, M5, M42 and M40 opens up. For businesses needing to serve JLR, feed the NEC's events calendar or move air-freight through Birmingham Airport, a storage footprint near Solihull combines proximity to those anchors with fast onward reach across the wider Midlands.
Picking accuracy is the quiet economics of fulfilment. A wrong item costs the pick, the outbound carriage, the return, the re-pick and usually the customer. For Solihull brands we scan every pick, document the packing standard and report the mis-pick rate monthly.

Local answers for Solihull, plus the questions every pick & pack services client asks.
Its M42 access (J4-J6) plus the M40, A45 and A34, sitting beside JLR's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport. That combination suits automotive supply, event logistics and air-freight-linked storage across the B90-B93 area.
Very much so. With JLR's Lode Lane plant on the doorstep, storage near Solihull frequently acts as buffer and sequencing space, feeding components to production lines on schedule via the M42 rather than holding long-term bulk.
Blythe Valley Park offers premium space off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits near the airport and NEC, and Cranmore serves established industrial tenants. The right choice depends on whether you prioritise prestige, airport access or straightforward industrial units.
Both are right beside the M42 within the borough, minutes from the main estates. Storage near Solihull is ideal for event stock feeding the NEC or time-sensitive goods moving through Birmingham Airport's cargo operations.
Around thirty minutes via the M42 and M40. That places Solihull on the western, Birmingham-facing edge of the Golden Triangle, with quick onward access into the M6/M5/M42/M40 motorway box.
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.
