WSUK fills temporary warehouse and forklift jobs for Burton upon Trent employers — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance and reach FLT drivers — for peaks, cover and short-notice shifts. From the Centrum 100 logistics park and Palletforce SuperHub to the Wellington Road estate and Branston units on the A38, we put vetted, inducted staff on your floor fast, with PAYE payroll and compliance handled.
Burton upon Trent is one of the UK's prime overnight distribution locations, sitting on the A38 midway between the M1, M6, M6 Toll and M42, close to the A50 trans-Pennine corridor. Its logistics core is the 200-acre Centrum 100 business park beside the A38, home to Boots, DHL, Clipper Logistics, Argos and the Palletforce SuperHub — a 318,000 sq ft central hub handling over 30,000 pallets a night. The Wellington Road Industrial Estate and Branston add further distribution and FMCG acreage, much of it rooted in the town's famous brewing heritage with operators such as Molson Coors and Marston's. With Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby and Cannock close by, Burton is a high-volume palletised storage and haulage hub at the north of the Golden Triangle.
Overnight pallet networks, brewing and FMCG create relentless, time-critical labour demand in Burton — trailers must be loaded, sortation hubs cleared and goods-in booked in on the clock, and any shortfall delays the whole network. WSUK supplies temporary warehouse and forklift teams — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT drivers — inducted for the town's fast-paced hubs. We manage vetting, right-to-work checks, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, so labour arrives cleared and lawful. As nightly volumes and seasonal peaks rise and fall, we flex headcount to match, giving Burton operators dependable cover without carrying permanent overhead.
