Corby is one of the Golden Triangle's densest distribution towns, built on its steel heritage and now dominated by big-box logistics. Linked to the A14 (Junctions 7–9), the A43 and the A1(M), it offers fast reach to the East Midlands and the national network. The Earlstrees Industrial Estate anchors the town, with occupiers and neighbours including Amazon, Morrisons, RS Components, Wincanton, Ceva, Bibby and Advanced Supply Chain, while Weldon, Willowbrook and the Midlands Logistics Park add large modern sheds. Tata Steel remains a major presence. With Kettering, Market Harborough, Wellingborough and Rockingham close by, Corby draws national retailers, 3PL providers and e-commerce operators needing high-volume storage and fulfilment with strong HGV access.
Corby's cluster of national distribution centres runs on flexible labour: e-commerce and grocery peaks, contract launches and daily absence create gaps that must be filled fast to keep pick rates and despatch on target. 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 high-volume sheds. We manage vetting, right-to-work checks, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, so labour arrives cleared and lawful. As seasonal volumes climb and ease, we flex headcount up and down, giving Corby operators dependable cover without carrying permanent overhead through the quieter weeks.
Tell us once what you can do and which shifts suit you, and we will match you to sites near you as they come up — rather than making you apply over and over.
The core of most warehouses: picking orders to an RF scanner or voice headset, packing to a spec, and getting them out to the carrier on time. The usual way in if you have never worked in a warehouse.
Booking deliveries in, checking them against paperwork, unloading containers and trailers, and loading outbound. Physical work, and the part of the building where accuracy matters most.
Counterbalance, reach, PPT and VNA driving for ticket-holders, plus team leader and supervisor roles for people who have run a pick face or a shift before.
WSUK covers Corby and its estates — Earlstrees, Weldon, Willowbrook and the Midlands Logistics Park — plus Kettering, Market Harborough, Wellingborough and Rockingham. From a single counterbalance driver for a shift to a full multi-shift picking and packing operation, we mobilise vetted temporary warehouse and forklift staff quickly across the A14 and A43 catchment.
WSUK recruits across the whole warehouse floor. If you are starting out, picking and packing is where most people begin and there is no experience needed. If you hold a forklift ticket, or you have led a shift before, you will earn more and we will usually have something live. Register once and we will come to you when a shift near you fits.

Picking, packing, goods-in and goods-out, loading and forklift roles come up most often around Corby, across day, night and weekend shifts. General operative roles need no previous experience; forklift roles need a current ticket and pay more.
It depends on the site and the shift. Some estates around Corby are on bus routes during the day but are hard to reach for a 6am or a night finish. We will tell you what the realistic travel options are for a specific site before you accept it.
For picking, packing and general operative roles, no. Most sites train you on their own system in the first shift or two and the induction covers manual handling and site safety. Experience matters for forklift, VNA and team leader roles, where you will also be paid more.
Most general warehouse roles run £12.71—£14.00 an hour, forklift roles £13.00—£15.50, and team leader roles £14.50—£18.00. Nights and weekends usually carry a premium on top. Every rate we advertise is at or above the National Living Wage.
No. Charging a work-seeker a fee for finding them work is against the law in the UK, and WSUK never does it. The employer pays our fee. You are never asked for money for training, PPE, checks or placement.
