"Earlstrees gave us the floor space we simply couldn't find further south, and the A43 down to the A14 keeps our Felixstowe containers moving. For big-box volume, Corby has been a genuinely smart call."
Wholesale despatch for Corby brands, with case multiples and minimum order quantities validated before a single unit is picked.
Trade order fulfilment serving Corby: terms enforced at picking, stable wrapped pallets, POD per drop, and the same stock free to serve your consumer channels. Pallets from £12.50, 40 minutes from DIRFT via A43, A6014, A6003 and A14.
Wholesale is not a bigger version of consumer fulfilment. The order sizes, the frequency, the paperwork and the delivery expectations are all different.
Orders picked at whatever level the buyer works in, with mixed-SKU pallets built to a stable, wrapped, labelled standard.
Minimum order quantities, case multiples and trade-specific rules applied at picking so an order that breaks your terms is flagged, not shipped.
Multiple orders for the same trade customer combined into one shipment on an agreed schedule, which cuts their admin and your carriage.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling. Long-term contract rates tier down quickly here, because wholesale volume is predictable — which is exactly what contract pricing rewards.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Case and layer quantities for trade orders.
Mixed-SKU pallets built, wrapped and labelled.
One despatch per customer per schedule.

Corby's story is one of reinvention. The furnaces that once made it a steel town have largely cooled, but the appetite for heavy industry left behind a legacy of large sites, robust infrastructure and a workforce used to shift-based operations. Today the NN17 and NN18 districts are among the East Midlands' densest warehousing clusters, feeding out onto the A43 towards the A14 in one direction and Northampton in the other. The Rugby and DIRFT core lies about forty minutes away.
Earlstrees is the estate that most defines the town's modern trade - a sprawling industrial and distribution area that has drawn national retailers and 3PLs to Corby's edge. Weldon and Willowbrook extend the footprint, and between them they host steel and metals processing alongside food production and the big-box distribution that increasingly dominates. Rockingham, with its motor speedway heritage and adjoining development land, sits just to the town's north, adding to the sense of a place built at scale.
What Corby lacks in direct motorway frontage it makes up for through the A14, the crucial east-west freight artery reached via the A43. That corridor links the port of Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, and Corby sits neatly on the approach. Kettering, Market Harborough and Wellingborough all lie within a short drive, so a base here serves the northern Northamptonshire warehousing belt while keeping the wider triangle and the east-coast ports within comfortable reach.
For trade supply, Corby's road position is about consolidation. Open orders for the same customer are combined into one palletised despatch on an agreed day rather than trickling out as five separate deliveries — which cuts your carriage and their admin at once.

Local answers for Corby, plus the questions every wholesale fulfilment client asks.
It does. The old steelworks left large, well-serviced sites and a workforce accustomed to industrial shift work. Steel and metals processing continues alongside food production and distribution, giving Corby an unusually deep industrial character for its size.
Earlstrees Industrial Estate is the obvious starting point - it's the largest and most established, home to national retailers and 3PLs. Weldon and Willowbrook add further capacity nearby, so there's genuine choice for large-footprint warehousing.
Via the A43, which runs down to the A14 within a short drive. The A14 is the main east-west corridor linking Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, so Corby sits well for both east-coast port traffic and cross-country trunking.
Yes. The DIRFT and Rugby core is around forty minutes away, and the A43/A14 combination gives quick onward access to the M1 and M6. Corby works as an eastern anchor of the triangle's warehousing belt.
Kettering is very close, with Market Harborough, Wellingborough and the Rockingham area all a short hop away. That covers the northern Northamptonshire and southern Leicestershire distribution belt comfortably from an NN17 or NN18 base.
Yes — picked at case, layer or pallet level, validated against your MOQs and case multiples before picking, built into wrapped and labelled pallets, and consolidated by customer onto agreed despatch days.
Yes, and it is usually the biggest saving on the account. Open orders for the same trade customer are combined into one palletised delivery, which cuts carriage and their admin at the same time.
Yes — MOQs, case multiples and trade rules are applied when the order is validated, so anything breaking your terms is flagged before it is picked rather than argued about on the invoice.
Case picks from £1.00 plus £0.35 processing, pallets built and wrapped from £12.50, wrap and band £3.50, storage from £4.50 per pallet per week. Consolidated deliveries quoted per drop.
Yes. One pool in Corby’s nearest WSUK warehouse serves trade orders and consumer orders alike, so you are not holding separate inventory for each.
