Preston, and what reaches it3 Wren Street · PR1 6TB
The registered office is 3 Wren Street, Preston, PR1 6TB. Preston is where the M6 and the M55 meet, which is the whole reason a stockroom works from here rather than somewhere with cheaper floor space: the city sits at the junction between the north-south motorway and the road west to the coast.
What follows is the geography that decides which deliveries are a morning's work and which are a day's, drawn as a diagram rather than borrowed from a mapping service.
The roads, as a diagram
Every road on the diagram is drawn because it changes how a consignment is planned, not because it is near. The M55 is the only dual route onto the Fylde, so a delivery to the coast is one road out and the same road back, and a closure on it has no alternative that is not a village. The M65 does the same job eastward into the mill towns. The A6 and the A59 are the roads a van uses when the motorway is the wrong tool, which on a multi-drop round through the city it usually is.
The catchment, by the road that reaches it
| Ref | Place | Road | What that means for a drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | Leyland and Chorley | M6 south, or the A6 | Close enough to serve on the same round as the city centre |
| G2 | Blackpool, Lytham and the Fylde | M55 west | One route out and back, so a closure is a reschedule and not a diversion |
| G3 | Blackburn and Burnley | M65 east | Motorway the whole way, but the drops themselves are in tight town centres |
| G4 | Lancaster and the north | M6 north | Straightforward, and the point at which a pallet beats a van |
| G5 | Southport and West Lancashire | A59 south-west | No motorway, so it is planned on road time and not on distance |
| G6 | Wigan, Bolton and the south | M6 and M61 | Into the Manchester hinterland, where a pallet network is the sensible answer |
G4 and G6 are in the table to mark where a van stops making sense. A single outer to a store two streets away and a pallet to a depot fifty miles off are the same transaction on the specification sheet and nothing like each other on the road, which is why the order fields on the wholesale page ask for the pallet configuration and the delivery window before anything is picked.
What the address on this page is for
| Field | Entry | |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Street | 3 Wren Street |
| A2 | Post town | Preston |
| A3 | Postcode | PR1 6TB |
| A4 | Country | United Kingdom |
| A5 | Jurisdiction | England and Wales |
| A6 | Company number | 17428271 |
| A7 | D-U-N-S number | 235115333 |
| A8 | Correspondence | stockroom@qtyoneuk.store |
That address is the registered office and the correspondence address, and the mailbox in A8 is the channel for both. A delivery or a collection is arranged in writing first, because the specification, the residual-life figure and the delivery window all have to be settled before a pallet is built, and none of those is a doorstep conversation.
