"Basing our DC at Magna Park put us minutes from Junction 20 and the whole triangle. WSUK manage our overspill so cleanly we barely notice the peaks anymore."
Goods-in inspection for Lutterworth businesses — counted against your PO, sampled to an agreed standard, failures quarantined before put-away.
Product inspection for Lutterworth from WSUK: containers counted against your purchase order, a statistically valid AQL sample inspected against a defect list agreed with you, every defect photographed and classified, and the report issued the same day. Container inspection from £75, per-unit from £0.45. Via M1 (J20), A426, A5 and M6 (J1), 15 minutes from the DIRFT core.
A defect found at goods-in costs an inspection. The same defect found by a customer costs the refund, the return carriage, the review and the repeat purchase.
Inbound containers and supplier pallets checked against your purchase order for count, condition and specification before anything is put away.
A statistically valid sample size agreed with you up front, inspected against a defect list you define — so results are comparable batch to batch and supplier to supplier.
Function, finish, labelling and packaging checked before stock goes to a retailer or a customer, because those are the checks a buyer will repeat at their gate.
Inspection is priced by how much of the consignment you want checked. Short-term rate card for ad-hoc and first-shipment checks; long-term contract rates for ongoing QC programmes on repeat suppliers.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Counted against PO, condition checked, report issued.
Statistically valid sample against your defect list.
Every unit checked where a batch is suspect.

Few towns sit closer to the beating heart of UK distribution than Lutterworth. Magna Park - the country's largest dedicated distribution park - lies right beside it, and the whole town hangs off M1 Junction 20 in the LE17 postcode, barely 15 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core. Add the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 tracing Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach, and you have one of the most connected logistics addresses anywhere in the Golden Triangle.
Magna Park is the defining feature. Home to some of the biggest sheds in Britain and a roll-call of national retailers' distribution centres, it has made Lutterworth a byword for large-scale warehousing and 3PL operations. Beyond the flagship park, the Mere Lane estate offers more accessible industrial space, so businesses that don't need a Magna Park mega-shed can still base themselves minutes from Junction 20 and the same motorway network.
The town's whole economy is built around national distribution, third-party logistics and warehousing - this is a place that exists to move pallets efficiently. Rugby and Crick are a short skip down towards DIRFT, Hinckley sits west, Leicester lies north up the A426, and Market Harborough is a cross-country run east. Because Lutterworth is so tightly wound into the M1 at Junction 20, goods staged here can reach the entire triangle core before many operators elsewhere have even cleared their yard.
Inspection only earns its keep if the results are comparable. For Lutterworth businesses we agree the sample size, the AQL level and what counts as a critical, major or minor defect in advance — so batches and suppliers can genuinely be measured against each other.

It sits right on M1 Junction 20 beside Magna Park, the UK's largest dedicated distribution park, and is only about 15 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. Few LE17 addresses are better wired into the national motorway network.
Not at all. Magna Park suits large-scale 3PL and national DCs, but the Mere Lane estate offers more modest industrial units minutes from Junction 20 - so we can match smaller operations to the same excellent connectivity.
Very fast. With Junction 20 on the doorstep and Rugby, Crick and DIRFT just down the M1 and A5, stock staged in Lutterworth can reach the heart of the Golden Triangle in well under 15 minutes.
The M1 at Junction 20 is the main artery, with the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 along Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach for westbound and Birmingham-bound loads.
It is arguably the ideal spot for it. Magna Park was purpose-built for exactly this kind of high-volume, multi-client warehousing, and its position at Junction 20 lets 3PL operators serve the whole Midlands from a single base.
Yes — containers arriving at our Golden Triangle warehouse are counted against your purchase order, condition-checked, and a sample inspected against a defect list agreed with you, with everything photographed.
An agreed acceptable quality level setting how many units are checked and how many defects are tolerated before the batch fails. It makes results comparable between batches and suppliers instead of an impression formed while unloading.
Same day. Supplier claim windows are short, so a report arriving a fortnight later has usually lost its commercial value — which is the main reason to inspect at goods-in rather than at pick.
Container goods-in inspection from £75, AQL sample inspection from £0.45 per unit, 100% inspection quoted per job, quarantine storage from £4.50 per pallet per week.
Quarantined immediately so it cannot be picked, photographed and counted for your claim, then reworked on the same site, returned to the supplier or disposed of with a record.
