"Fradley Park was the obvious call for us and WSUK made it painless. The M6 Toll at T5 means our trucks dodge the worst of the M6 and still make Birmingham drops on schedule."
Assembly for Lichfield brands — six components in, one barcoded SKU out, built to a written work instruction with a first-off sample approved before the run.
Kitting and light assembly for Lichfield: components received and counted against your bill of materials, kits built to a written work instruction with a first-off sample approved, then barcoded as one finished SKU.

For a cathedral city, Lichfield carries a surprisingly heavy logistics footprint, and the reason is simple: Fradley Park sits on its doorstep. That park has become one of the fastest-growing distribution locations in the Midlands, strung along the A38 with quick reach to the A5 and the M6 Toll at T5. Sitting in Staffordshire's WS13 and WS14 postcodes, Lichfield is roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - further out than the triangle's heart, but firmly plugged into the same motorway grid.
The A38 is Lichfield's backbone, running north towards Burton and south into Birmingham, while the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 give operators a way to skirt the congested central motorway box. That combination is exactly what has drawn big-shed distribution to Fradley Park, alongside Britannia Enterprise Park and the older Trent Valley estate. Together they offer a spread of modern logistics units and light-industrial space within a couple of minutes of a trunk road.
Lichfield's business base is weighted towards distribution, logistics and light manufacturing, and its neighbours reinforce that character. Tamworth's Relay Park lies just east across the M42, Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll, and Burton upon Trent - Britain's brewing capital - is a short run north on the A38. Goods routed through Lichfield can therefore tap into a dense Staffordshire logistics network without ever leaving the A38 corridor for long.
Assembly work sits well alongside storage, and for Lichfield brands that means components can land, be counted against the bill of materials and go straight to the build bench without a separate supplier or an extra freight movement in between.

Local answers for Lichfield, plus the questions every kitting & assembly client asks.
Fradley Park, on the A38 just outside the city, is one of the Midlands' fastest-growing distribution parks. Add the M6 Toll at T5 and the M42 at Junction 9 and Lichfield gives operators big-shed capacity with a clean run around the central motorway box.
Lichfield sits roughly 45 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core in the WS13 and WS14 postcodes. It is on the outer edge of the triangle, but the A38 and M6 Toll keep the trunk run into the hub straightforward.
We work across Fradley Park for modern distribution units, Britannia Enterprise Park, and the established Trent Valley estate. That range lets us place light-industrial and larger logistics stock close to the A38 as needed.
Yes. Tamworth's Relay Park is just east over the M42 and Cannock's warehousing cluster sits west along the A5 and M6 Toll. We route between them regularly, so Lichfield works well as a Staffordshire staging point.
It does. Joining at T5 lets vehicles bypass the busiest stretch of the M6 through the conurbation, which makes southbound and Birmingham-bound runs from Lichfield more predictable, especially at peak times.
Multipacks and banded sets, gift and starter kits, sub-assemblies, promotional packs, and retail display or POS units built and filled to the retailer’s spec. Simple assembly from £0.45 per unit; complex builds quoted once we have seen the spec.
A written work instruction agreed with you, a first-off sample approved before the run starts, and a QC check per batch. Components are counted against your bill of materials at goods-in, so shortages surface before the build rather than during it.
Yes — the kit becomes its own SKU with its own barcode and stock figure, which is what turns a six-component product into a single pick line when the orders arrive.
Yes, and it is worth planning. Tell us the launch date and the build is finished beforehand, so a spike in Lichfield orders clears the same day instead of backing up behind assembly work.
Yes. De-kitting returns components to stock as individual SKUs, which usually beats discounting a seasonal set. Component storage is from £4.50 per pallet per week.
