Exeter is the gateway to the South West, and that is a literal description - the M5 ends just south of the city and everything heading further into Devon and Cornwall continues on the A30 or the A38. For distribution it means Exeter is the last place with motorway access, which is why so much regional stock is held here rather than further west. EX1 to EX6 cover the city and its surrounds.
Marsh Barton, on the river south-west of the centre, is one of the largest trading estates in the South West and carries a vast mix of trade, motor and distribution occupiers. Sowton sits east of the city beside Junction 30 of the M5 with more modern industrial units, Exeter Business Park is office-led alongside it, and Skypark near the airport has newer large-format development.
Beyond regional distribution the economy includes agri-food drawing on Devon's farming base, a strong science and research presence, and a large tourism sector that creates very sharp summer peaks across the whole peninsula. Exmouth is eleven miles south-east, Cullompton thirteen north-east and Newton Abbot fifteen south.
Taking wholesale fulfilment on its own terms, WSUK validates case multiples and minimum order quantities before a unit is picked, then despatches trade orders in cases or on pallets as the account requires. The stock sits centrally, Exeter is 3 hours down the road from it, and EX1-EX6 is a next-day postcode either way.

Because the M5 ends just south of the city. Everything heading further into Devon and Cornwall continues on the A30 or A38, so Exeter is the last location with motorway access - which makes it the natural holding point for the peninsula.
One of the largest trading estates in the South West, on the river south-west of the city centre, carrying a very wide mix of trade, motor and distribution occupiers. Sowton beside Junction 30 of the M5 holds more modern industrial units.
With flexible capacity rather than fixed space. Tourism drives very sharp seasonal peaks across the peninsula, so accounts are set up so storage and picking resource scale with the season instead of being paid for year-round.
Around 175 miles from our Bilston site in Wolverhampton, roughly three hours down the M5. It is the longest trunk on our network, so cut-offs for Devon are confirmed individually rather than assumed.
Exmouth at eleven miles south-east, Cullompton at thirteen north-east and Newton Abbot at fifteen south. Destinations further into Cornwall are planned as onward legs from Exeter rather than direct trunks.
