Burton Latimer is one of the busiest manufacturing and distribution towns in Northamptonshire, sitting just south of the point where the A6 meets the A14, around three miles from Kettering. It is best known as the home of Weetabix, whose 75-acre site sits between two A14 junctions near the A6 and A509, but the town has far more besides: Versalift, the Morrisons distribution centre, Shield aluminium and newer warehousing at Symmetry Park and Kettering Gateway all base themselves here. That makes it prime territory for road and heavy haulage.
Haulage for Burton Latimer’s industry
With so many manufacturers and distribution centres clustered around the A14, Burton Latimer generates a constant flow of freight. We help businesses here move it efficiently, whatever the size.
- Full and part loads to and from the national distribution centres
- Palletised freight on a UK-wide next-day network
- Container haulage straight onto the A14 for Felixstowe
- Hiab offload for plant, packaged goods and building materials
- Refrigerated and same-day options for time-critical work
On the doorstep of the A14
Few towns are better connected for freight. The A14 runs east to the container port at Felixstowe and west towards the M6 and the Midlands, while the A6 and A509 link Burton Latimer to Kettering, Wellingborough and the M1. We use this network to keep deliveries on schedule, and for abnormal loads leaving the industrial estates we arrange the necessary notifications and escort support.
