Crick sits beside DIRFT, one of Britain's largest rail-freight and warehousing hubs, right at M1 Junction 18. When distribution volumes spike or drivers are off, WSUK supplies temporary HGV and van drivers — vetted, compliant and ready across NN6 and the surrounding logistics estates.
WSUK fills temporary driving jobs for Crick employers — Class 1 (C+E), Class 2 (C) and 7.5t (C1) HGV drivers plus van and multi-drop drivers — for peaks, cover and short-notice shifts. From DIRFT and the Crick Industrial Estate out to the M1 (J18), A5 and A428, we mobilise vetted, licence- and CPC-checked drivers fast, with PAYE payroll and tacho compliance managed.
Crick's defining asset is its neighbour: the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT), a road-rail intermodal hub straddling the M1, A5 and A428 that houses distribution operations for occupiers such as Tesco, Royal Mail, DHL and Eddie Stobart. Sitting at M1 Junction 18, Crick is at the very heart of the Golden Triangle, where a huge share of the UK's grocery and retail stock is trunked and stored. The Crick Industrial Estate adds further local units, while nearby Daventry, Rugby, Northampton and Lutterworth's Magna Park form one of the densest logistics clusters in Europe. Intermodal container flows, national RDC trunking and parcel operations all converge here, generating exceptional volumes of HGV movement. For transport operators around Crick, the sheer scale of DIRFT means driver demand is both large and continuous.
With DIRFT and the surrounding estates running at scale, Crick-area transport teams face relentless volume — rail-linked container flows, RDC replenishment, e-commerce peaks and holiday absence constantly create driver gaps. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) drivers for container and trunking work, Class 2 (C) drivers for rigid distribution, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers, and van and multi-drop drivers for local and last-mile rounds across NN6. Every driver is vetted with DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work confirmation, and we manage PAYE payroll with tacho and working-time compliance. From single-shift cover to large seasonal teams, we scale driver supply to match the throughput at DIRFT and beyond.

Yes — DIRFT's road-rail operations rely heavily on Class 1 (C+E) drivers for container haulage and trunking on the M1 and A5, alongside Class 2 (C) and 7.5t (C1) drivers for onward distribution. WSUK supplies experienced C+E and rigid drivers, vetted and CPC-checked, for the terminal and its estates.
