Corby is still a manufacturing town. Around 36.8% of employment here is in manufacturing — well above the regional average — and that shapes the same-day work we do: components, tooling and line-critical parts that have to arrive before a shift ends, not the next morning.

We collect across NN17 and NN18 on a dedicated vehicle. One driver, direct from your door to the delivery address, with proof of delivery on arrival.

A town built on steel, still built on making things

Corby grew from a village of about 1,500 people in 1931 into a steel town after Stewarts & Lloyds built an integrated ironstone and steel works, producing its first steel in October 1935. The steelworks closure announced in 1979 cost over 11,000 jobs and pushed unemployment above 30%.

What replaced it is a broad manufacturing base — Weetabix, RS Components, Fairline Boats, Taste Original and Amy’s Kitchen all operate here. Food production, electronics distribution and boatbuilding have very different delivery profiles, and we handle all three.

Roads and rail

That rail line matters to us for a simple reason: it runs through Wellingborough, where we are based. Corby is close enough that it is part of our home patch rather than an outlying area we cover on paper.

  • A43 — south-west towards Northampton, north-east towards Stamford
  • A427 and A6003 — local connections across the county
  • A14 — six miles away at Kettering, for the east coast ports and the M1/M6
  • Corby railway station — East Midlands Railway runs half-hourly to London St Pancras via Kettering and Wellingborough

Pallets, storage and distribution

A lot of Corby enquiries are about storage as much as movement — pallet storage, overflow space, and distribution from it. We handle warehousing in Corby alongside the same-day work, so a consignment can be stored and then delivered on the same account.

Collection times in Corby

There is no daily cut-off — we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including weekends and bank holidays. Booking earlier gives more routing options, but a late call does not mean waiting until tomorrow.

FAQ

Good to know.

Anything not covered here, call us — a specialist picks up, not a call queue.

How quickly can you collect in Corby?

We aim to have a driver on the road within the hour, and we will give you a price in about ten minutes of your call. Because a realistic time depends on where the collection is, we confirm the actual arrival time when you book rather than quoting a headline figure.

Do you handle line-stop parts for Corby manufacturers?

Yes — that is the bulk of our Corby work. A dedicated vehicle collects and drives direct with no depot transfers, so a component is not sitting in a hub while a line stands idle.

Do you offer warehousing in Corby as well as delivery?

Yes. We handle warehousing and pallet storage in Corby, short or long term, with same-day distribution from it on the same account.

Corby has no motorway — is that a problem?

No. The A43, A427 and A6003 serve the town, and the A14 is six miles away at Kettering, which opens up the east coast ports and the M1/M6. We are based at Wellingborough, on the same corridor.

Can you handle food-grade or temperature-controlled work?

Yes, for chilled and ambient consignments. Corby has a significant food production presence, and temperature-controlled work runs on a vetted carrier with the right vehicle, dispatched and managed by us end to end. Tell us what the consignment needs to stay within and we will confirm before booking whether we can hold it for the whole journey.
