Crick sits on the doorstep of DIRFT, one of the UK's largest rail-connected distribution parks. WSUK supplies the warehouse operatives and forklift drivers these enormous national distribution centres depend on — for shift cover, seasonal peaks, temp-to-perm and full teams — vetted, inducted and ready to work around the clock.
WSUK supplies warehouse staff to Crick businesses — pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out operatives and FLT/reach drivers — for temporary cover, ongoing shifts, seasonal peaks and full-team requirements. From the rail-served mega-sheds of DIRFT and Prologis RFI to units on Crick Industrial Estate beside the M1 (J18), we get vetted, inducted operatives onto your floor fast, day or night.
Tiny as the village is, Crick lends its name to some of Britain's most important logistics real estate. DIRFT — the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal — spreads across hundreds of acres immediately beside the M1 (J18), within four miles of the M6/A14 interchange and directly connected to the West Coast Main Line. Its rail-served mega-sheds and the surrounding Prologis RFI DIRFT park house national distribution centres for household names including Tesco, Royal Mail, Sainsbury's, GXO, Eddie Stobart and a 1.3-million-square-foot Marks & Spencer facility, with the smaller Crick Industrial Estate handling lighter units. The intermodal setup — three on-site rail terminals plus a dedicated lorry park — makes this a genuine road-and-rail gateway, drawing 3PL, grocery, parcel and e-commerce volumes from across the country and keeping Rugby, Daventry and Lutterworth within easy reach.
Distribution centres this size never staff purely from a permanent bench — they flex hard around promotions, grocery peaks and parcel surges. WSUK supplies DIRFT and Crick operators with pickers, packers, loaders and goods-in/out operatives, plus counterbalance, reach and PPT drivers, from a single cover shift to full teams for a new contract launch. Because these sites run 24/7, we specialise in day, night and weekend shift cover, ongoing assignments and temp-to-perm progression, scaling fast for seasonal grocery and e-commerce peaks. Every worker is right-to-work checked, referenced and inducted to the specific site, its MHE and its safety systems before starting, so shift managers on Prologis RFI DIRFT get productive people, not passengers.
Pickers, packers, loaders and FLT drivers supplied to Crick warehouses and fulfilment centres — flexible cover that scales with your volumes.
Core warehouse operatives for picking, packing, goods-in/out and loading — ready to hit productivity targets across Crick.

Day, night and weekend shifts scaled to your peaks, with temp, temp-to-perm and permanent options.
With national distribution centres the size of those at DIRFT clustered around one M1 junction, Crick's warehouses draw workers from Rugby, Daventry and beyond — and demand routinely outstrips the immediate local pool. WSUK bridges that gap, supplying vetted, inducted pickers, packers, loaders and FLT drivers for round-the-clock cover, ongoing shifts and the grocery and e-commerce peaks that define this rail-served hub.
Our warehouse staff supply keeps Crick operations running at pace. From a vetted, locally-based workforce, WSUK provides pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in/out and FLT drivers — temporary, temp-to-perm or permanent — inducted and ready to be productive. When volumes spike, we scale your team fast.

Yes. The national distribution centres at DIRFT and Prologis RFI run continuous shift patterns, and WSUK covers all of them — days, nights and weekends.

Absolutely. Crick's supermarket and online-retail distribution centres see sharp seasonal surges, so we ramp operative and driver numbers for peak and flex them back afterwards — drawing on a pre-vetted pool across Rugby, Daventry and Northampton to keep your floor fully manned.
