Market Harborough sits between the M1 (J20) and the A14, on the Midland Main Line, giving it a strategic position between Leicester's Golden Triangle estates, Lutterworth's Magna Park and the Kettering-Corby A14 corridor. Its warehouse ecosystem is built on Riverside Industrial Estate, Rockingham Road Industrial Estate and Airfield Business Park, supporting a mix of manufacturers, distributors, e-commerce operators and 3PL providers serving the surrounding logistics heartland. The town blends established light-industrial stock with newer distribution and trade-counter units, and with Lutterworth, Leicester, Kettering and Corby all within a short drive, employers here compete for the same experienced warehouse and forklift labour that supplies the wider East Midlands distribution cluster.
Distribution and manufacturing schedules around Market Harborough flex with seasons, contracts and promotions, so employers regularly need to fill temporary warehouse and forklift roles. WSUK supplies pickers, packers, goods-in and goods-out operatives, loaders, warehouse labourers and counterbalance, reach and PPT FLT drivers for peak trading, sickness and holiday cover and short-notice shifts. We manage vetting, right-to-work verification, PAYE payroll and working-time compliance, and we scale teams up for a busy period or new contract on Riverside or Airfield Business Park then back down, so managers keep orders moving without permanent headcount standing idle between peaks.
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 Market Harborough and its estates, from Riverside and Rockingham Road to Airfield Business Park. We also reach nearby Lutterworth, Leicester, Kettering and Corby the same day, supplying temporary warehouse operatives and FLT drivers to distribution, manufacturing and 3PL sites whenever your order volumes climb or staff are absent.
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 Market Harborough, 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 Market Harborough 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.
