"Market Harborough is perfectly placed for us. The A6 gets our stock up to Leicester and the A14 links down to Kettering, and WSUK handle the storage side so we can just concentrate on making the product."
Repatriation and recall handling for Market Harborough — everything travelling back up the chain, handled as a defined operation rather than a pile on a pallet.
WSUK runs the whole reverse flow for Market Harborough businesses — the lanes that carry real risk, not just consumer parcels. Claims raised inside the supplier window, recoveries evidenced at unit level. A6, A14, A427 and M1 (J20) on the doorstep; we also cover Lutterworth and Leicester.
Consumer returns are one lane of the reverse flow. Recalls, retailer repatriation and supplier returns are the lanes that carry real risk.
A recall is a deadline with legal consequences. Stock is quarantined on receipt, counted against what was distributed, and reconciled so you can evidence what came back.
Stock pulled back out of retailers, distributors, marketplace warehouses and FBA removal orders — received, inspected and returned to sellable or written off.
Faulty batches consolidated and returned to the supplier with evidence attached, and anything unsellable disposed of responsibly with a record.
Priced on handling rather than storage, because most reverse flows move through rather than settle. Short-term rate card for one-off recalls and project recoveries; long-term contract rates for ongoing reverse programmes.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Received, inspected, counted and dispositioned.
Pallet and container-level returns from trade.
Held through claim windows, then resolved.

Market Harborough plays a quieter but genuinely useful role in the Golden Triangle, sitting on the LE16 border where Leicestershire meets Northamptonshire. The A6 runs through it linking Leicester to the north with the Northamptonshire warehousing belt to the south, while the A14 lies close by as the great East-West freight route. With M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427, the town is around 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - close enough to serve, far enough to offer breathing space away from the busiest sheds.
The town's industrial space is more human-scaled than the mega-parks nearer the motorways. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road handle established light-industrial and trade occupiers, while the Airfield Business Park out towards the former airfield offers newer units. This spread suits businesses that want dependable Midlands connectivity without committing to a vast distribution shed - a practical middle ground between town-centre trade and full-blown warehousing.
Light manufacturing, distribution and food and drink shape Market Harborough's economy, and its position between two logistics regions is its real advantage. Lutterworth and Magna Park sit west towards the M1, Leicester lies north on the A6, and Kettering and Corby - the East Midlands' big warehousing cluster - are a short run south down towards the A14. Goods moving through Market Harborough can therefore bridge the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire supply chains along roads that stay clear of the motorway crush.
For reverse logistics, stock coming back from retailers and marketplaces converges on the same corridor it went out on, which keeps recovery runs from Market Harborough short. Everything is quarantined on arrival and reconciled against what was distributed.

Local answers for Market Harborough, plus the questions every reverse logistics client asks.
On the LE16 Leicestershire-Northamptonshire border, roughly 25 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. The A6 and A14 give it a foot in two logistics regions, with M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427.
More human-scaled than the motorway mega-parks. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road host established light-industrial occupiers, while Airfield Business Park provides newer units - ideal for firms wanting Midlands reach without a giant shed.
That is exactly its strength. Leicester sits north on the A6, while Kettering and Corby's warehousing cluster lie south towards the A14, so goods routed through Market Harborough bridge both supply chains on quieter roads.
Via the A427 across to Junction 20, which also puts Lutterworth and Magna Park within easy reach to the west. It is a short, generally clear run that avoids the heaviest motorway sections around the hub.
Yes - food and drink is one of the town's core sectors, and its A6/A14 position lets producers reach both the Leicester conurbation and the Northamptonshire distribution belt without long motorway hauls.
Yes — recalled stock is quarantined on receipt at our Golden Triangle warehouse, counted, photographed where evidence is needed, and reconciled against what was distributed so you can show the recovery rate rather than assert it.
Yes — collections from retailer RDCs and stores, received against the original despatch records, with a discrepancy report where counts disagree. Sellable units go back into stock rather than sitting on a pallet.
Returns management is the consumer parcel flow — graded and back on sale in 48 hours. This covers recalls, retailer and marketplace repatriation, supplier returns and evidenced disposal, where the risk and the paperwork are different.
Unit handling from £1.25, bulk or container intake from £75, quarantine storage from £4.50 per pallet per week, palletising from £12.50. Recalls are scoped and quoted against the evidence you need.
Yes — consolidated, photographed and shipped back with a claim pack. Speed matters here: the supplier claim window is the deadline Market Harborough clients miss most often.
