Pick & Pack Services for Watford brands that would rather not sign for Hertfordshire space. Stock held at Lutterworth, picked to your spec, away the same working day.
Pick & Pack Services reaching Watford and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Your stock is held 75 miles away at our Lutterworth site and released against the afternoon cut-off for next-day arrival. There is no setup fee and no minimum. St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Rickmansworth are covered on the same arrangement.
How a Watford pick & pack services account is put together, from goods-in through to the carrier handover.
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.

Watford sits where the M1 and M25 meet, which is about as well connected as a town can be. Junction 5 of the M1 serves the town directly and Junctions 19 to 21 of the M25 ring it to the south and west, with the A41 running north-west toward Hemel Hempstead and the A412 south toward Uxbridge. WD17 to WD25 cover the town and its immediate surrounds.
Watford Business Park on the south-western side is the main industrial area, with Colonial Way and Greenhill Crescent nearby carrying trade and smaller commercial units. Croxley Park to the west is office-led. Land values this close to London mean warehouse space is at a premium, so the town works better as a delivery destination and a base for head-office functions than as a place to hold volume.
A great many national retailers run their head offices from this corridor, and the film industry has a significant presence nearby, which brings a steady flow of specialist production and set-related logistics. Construction and professional services make up much of the rest. St Albans is six miles north-east, Hemel Hempstead eight north-west and Rickmansworth four south-west.
For pick & pack services specifically, WSUK runs the pick floor using whichever method suits the order profile - batch where orders share SKUs, wave against carrier cut-offs, zone where the SKU count is high - with every pick barcode-verified. Stock for Watford is held at our Lutterworth site and trunked overnight, so you get Hertfordshire delivery without Hertfordshire rent.

Unusually well. Junction 5 of the M1 serves the town directly and Junctions 19 to 21 of the M25 ring it to the south and west, with the A41 and A412 covering local routes. For a town of its size it has exceptional strategic road access.
Not usually, because land values this close to London put warehouse space at a premium. Most accounts here hold volume centrally in the Midlands and treat Watford as a delivery destination and a head-office location.
Watford Business Park on the south-western side is the main area, with Colonial Way and Greenhill Crescent nearby for trade and smaller commercial units. Croxley Park to the west is office-led rather than industrial.
Around 75 miles from Lutterworth, straight down the M1 in roughly an hour and twenty. It is one of the shortest runs on our southern network, which supports late cut-offs into the WD postcodes.
St Albans at six miles north-east, Hemel Hempstead at eight north-west and Rickmansworth at four south-west, all within the M1 and M25 corridor.
