Need temporary warehouse or forklift staff at Crick and DIRFT? WSUK supplies vetted pickers, packers, loaders and FLT drivers to the rail-freight distribution sheds and Crick Industrial Estate near M1 J18 — flexible cover for peaks, absence and order spikes, with right-to-work, payroll and compliance managed.
WSUK fills temporary warehouse and forklift jobs for Crick employers — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT FLT drivers — for peaks, cover and short-notice shifts. From the giant rail-served sheds at DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) to the Crick Industrial Estate near M1 (J18), we get vetted, inducted staff on your floor fast, with PAYE payroll and compliance handled.
Crick sits at the beating heart of the Golden Triangle, right beside the M1 (Junction 18) where it meets the A5 and the A14 to the M6. Its defining feature is DIRFT — the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal — a rail-road intermodal hub and 430-acre warehousing estate whose occupiers read like a roll-call of national distribution: Tesco, Royal Mail, the Co-op/NHS supply chain, Dunelm, ITX and Kinaxia, with Marks & Spencer building a 1.3 million sq ft food distribution centre. The adjoining Crick Industrial Estate adds further units. Rail links carry containers straight to the deep-sea ports. With Rugby, Daventry, Lutterworth and Northampton all minutes away, Crick is one of the UK's most concentrated logistics locations.
DIRFT's mega-sheds run around the clock, and that scale makes flexible labour essential: rail arrivals, grocery and parcel peaks, contract launches and absence all demand extra hands at short notice to keep despatch on schedule. WSUK supplies temporary warehouse and forklift teams — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT drivers — inducted for the terminal's high-volume operations. We manage vetting, right-to-work checks, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, so labour arrives cleared and lawful. As volumes surge for a peak and ease afterwards, we flex headcount to match, giving Crick operators dependable cover without permanent overhead.
