"Relay Park is the reason we chose Tamworth. Straight onto the M42, and the M6 Toll lets us skip the Birmingham crawl entirely. Our southbound schedules have never been more predictable. First-class distribution address."
Pick and pack for Tamworth businesses — batch, wave or zone picking matched to your order profile, every pick barcode-verified, same-day despatch via M42 (J10).
WSUK runs the pick floor for Tamworth brands at 99.5%+ accuracy, with the mis-pick rate reported monthly and right-sized boxes cutting volumetric carrier charges. From £1.00 per pick plus £0.35. M42 (J10), A5, A38 and M6 Toll (T3) on the doorstep; we also cover Lichfield and Cannock.
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.

Tamworth stakes its logistics reputation on Relay Park, a landmark distribution address that has become one of the most recognisable big-shed locations in the Midlands. Sitting across the B77-B79 postcodes in Staffordshire, the town commands a genuinely strong road position: the M42 at Junction 10, the historic A5 Watling Street and the M6 Toll at T3 all converge here, giving national operators fast, congestion-avoiding access in every direction. National distribution, logistics and manufacturing form the backbone of local employment.
Beyond Relay Park, the Tame Valley Industrial Estate and the Amington area add further industrial and warehousing capacity, spreading logistics activity across the town rather than concentrating it in one spot. The M6 Toll is the quiet advantage - offering a reliable bypass of the notoriously congested Birmingham stretch of the M6 - while the A5 provides an alternative trunk route east and west. Neighbours Lichfield, Cannock, Nuneaton and Atherstone share the same distribution-corridor character, reinforcing this northern Warwickshire-Staffordshire border as serious warehousing country.
From Tamworth, the DIRFT and Rugby core is around forty minutes away, placing the town on the north-western reach of the Golden Triangle. That drive-time keeps Tamworth firmly within the national distribution catchment while giving it the added edge of M6 Toll access for operators who value predictable transit over the shortest theoretical route. With Relay Park's scale, three strategic road links and neighbouring logistics towns all around, Tamworth earns its standing as a heavyweight Midlands distribution address.
WSUK runs the pick floor for businesses across Tamworth and Staffordshire using whichever method suits the order profile — batch where many orders share SKUs, wave against carrier cut-offs, zone where the SKU count is large. One house style applied to everything is how throughput gets lost.

Relay Park is a landmark national distribution address and Tamworth's flagship logistics location, drawing major operators to its big-shed units. Sitting by the M42 J10 and A5, it's a prime base for warehousing serving the whole Midlands and beyond.
The M42 at Junction 10, the A5 Watling Street and the M6 Toll at T3 all meet at Tamworth. That gives operators fast, flexible routing across the B77-B79 area, with the Toll offering a reliable alternative to the congested M6 through Birmingham.
Considerably. The M6 Toll (T3) lets Tamworth-based vehicles bypass the heavily congested Birmingham stretch of the M6, giving more predictable transit times - a real advantage for scheduled national distribution and time-critical loads.
Tame Valley Industrial Estate and the Amington area both provide industrial and warehousing space, spreading capacity across the town. The best fit depends on unit size and whether you need Relay Park's motorway-front profile or a more standard industrial setting.
About forty minutes via the M42 and A5 links. That puts Tamworth on the north-western edge of the Golden Triangle, well within national distribution range and with the bonus of M6 Toll access for smoother southern transits.
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.
