"We keep overflow stock near Raunds and the Warth Park proximity is ideal. Straight onto the A45, quick hop to the A14, and our trunk vehicles are gone before the traffic builds. Faultless for our seasonal peaks."
Rework and relabelling for Raunds businesses — rejected, mislabelled or non-compliant stock inspected free, then corrected from £0.75 a unit, via A45.
Remedial rework serving Raunds: failed units removed, counted and photographed so a supplier claim runs on the real defect rate, and corrected stock booked straight back in as sellable. From £0.75 per unit, 40 minutes from DIRFT via A45, A14 and A6.
The instinct after a rejection is to write the pallet off. It is almost always the wrong call — the correction usually costs pennies against the full value of the goods.
Send a sample or a single pallet. We inspect it, tell you what proportion is genuinely recoverable and what the correction costs per unit, before you move the rest.
Barcodes corrected, retailer-spec labels applied, language, origin and safety labelling added for import, date and batch codes reapplied.
Damaged outers replaced, contaminated or failed units removed, sets rebuilt, and product transferred into compliant packaging.
Rework is quoted per job because the time per unit is what drives the cost, and that only becomes clear once we have seen the stock. Short-term rate card for one-off rescues; long-term contract rates where rework is an ongoing programme.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Barcode, compliance, language and origin labels.
New outers, rebuilt sets, compliant packaging.

Raunds is a modest Northamptonshire town in the NN9 postcode that carries surprising logistics weight, thanks largely to Warth Park on its edge. That distribution estate has drawn national names including Howdens and a major Primark distribution centre, turning fields off the A45 into a serious warehousing address. The town threads the A45/A14 corridor, with the A6 close by, giving hauliers a clean run east toward the ports or west into Northampton. For a place this size, the sheer scale of shed space is what marks it out.
Geographically, Raunds sits within the East Northamptonshire cluster alongside Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Wellingborough and Kettering - a belt where distribution and e-commerce fulfilment have quietly become the dominant employers. The A14 provides the strategic east-west spine linking Felixstowe traffic through to the M1 and M6, while the A45 handles the local artery down to Northampton. Beyond the big sheds, the town retains a joinery and manufacturing thread, so the mix of freight leaving Raunds ranges from full-load retail stock to smaller trade consignments.
From Raunds it is roughly forty minutes back to the DIRFT and Rugby core of the Golden Triangle, placing the town toward the eastern reach of that famous distribution zone. That still keeps it comfortably inside single-drive-shift range of the M1 and the rail-freight terminal, which is why national operators are content basing stock here. The Kimbolton Road estate adds further capacity close to the town centre. In short: small population, big pallet counts, and a road network that punches well above the local map.

Local answers for Raunds, plus the questions every rework & relabelling client asks.
Most warehousing capacity sits at Warth Park on the A45 edge of Raunds, where national names like Howdens and Primark operate distribution centres. The Kimbolton Road estate offers additional space closer to the NN9 town centre for smaller, trade-scale storage needs.
Raunds sits just off the A45, which links directly to the A14 within a few minutes' drive. That gives you the strategic east-west freight route toward Felixstowe one way and the M1/M6 and DIRFT the other, all without touching congested town roads.
Yes - Warth Park was purpose-built for exactly that, hosting large-scale retail and e-commerce distribution operations. With the A45 and A14 on the doorstep and the NN9 location central to the East Midlands, next-day delivery footprints are very achievable from here.
Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Wellingborough and Kettering are all close, forming a tight East Northamptonshire distribution belt. Storage in Raunds lets you serve that whole cluster on short local runs rather than long trunk legs.
Around forty minutes westward via the A45 and A14 links back to the M1. That puts Raunds at the eastern edge of the Golden Triangle, still well within a single driving shift of the Rugby and DIRFT rail-freight core.
Yes — send one pallet or a sample first. We inspect it free, tell you what proportion is genuinely recoverable and what the correction costs per unit, and only then do you move the rest across.
Wrong or missing barcodes, retailer-spec label formats, missing language, origin or safety labelling on imports, incorrect date and batch codes, crushed outer cartons, and failed units that need removing from otherwise good batches.
We will say so. The free sample inspection exists precisely so Raunds clients do not ship pallets across the country to find out a batch is unsalvageable.
Relabelling from £0.75 per unit, repack and physical rework from £0.45, quarantine storage from £4.50 per pallet per week. Full runs quoted per job once we have seen the stock.
Usually inside the same week for standard relabelling — which matters, because the line is typically out of stock the whole time it is unresolved.
