Solihull blends corporate parkland with heavyweight logistics and manufacturing. Birmingham Business Park and Blythe Valley Park draw distribution, tech and supply-chain operations, while Jaguar Land Rover's Lode Lane plant anchors a deep automotive network that pulls in just-in-time warehousing and component distribution. The M42 at Junctions 4 to 6 links to the M40, M6 and Birmingham Airport, and nearby Hams Hall Distribution Park at Coleshill adds rail-served, large-format fulfilment within easy reach. Cranmore and Midpoint estates round out a mix of 3PL, e-commerce and production. With BHX cargo, automotive supply chains and regional distribution all overlapping, Solihull generates broad and often specialised demand for forklift drivers and warehouse operatives across B90, B91, B92 and B93.
Automotive supply chains and airport-linked logistics run to tight schedules, so gaps in the warehouse cannot wait. Solihull employers turn to WSUK for temporary pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in and goods-out operatives and counterbalance, reach and PPT forklift drivers who slot straight into demanding operations. We vet and right-to-work check every worker, handle PAYE payroll and manage working-time compliance, so line-side feeds and fulfilment stay on time. Whether you need cover for absence, a launch, a model changeover or a seasonal surge, we supply the right people quickly and scale the crew up or down as production and order volumes shift.
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.
From Birmingham Business Park to the JLR supply chain, Solihull employers rely on WSUK for temporary warehouse and forklift cover that keeps schedules intact. We know the M42 Junctions 4 to 6 corridor, the automotive and airport logistics that shape local demand and the B90 to B93 estates, so we place vetted operatives and FLT drivers fast, from one reach driver to a full shift.
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 Solihull, 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 Solihull 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.
