What the official data says about Medway
Warehousing and storage in Medway is counted at 900 employee jobs, 0.92% of the 98,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.
Picking and packing sit inside that count, along with goods in, stock control and shift management, because the survey counts sites rather than tasks. The 1,000 freight transport by road jobs in Medway are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.
UK Business Counts recorded 25 warehousing and storage sites in Medway at the March 2025 reference date, 10 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 20 of them, 80%, employ under ten, a lower share than most areas, so medium and large sites have a real presence here.
Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Medway, 300 are part time, 33.3% of the split. The middle across the South East is 13%, so Medway sits above it, 2nd of 19 areas on this measure. A part-time share this size usually means a lot of twilight, weekend and peak-season shifts in the local mix.
Two further counts round out the Medway picture: 350 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 2,250 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
Measured on warehousing and storage, share of all employee jobs, Medway ranks 8th of the 19 areas in the South East. The middle across the South East is 0.73%, against 0.92% in Medway. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 0.87%. Next to Medway in that order sit Portsmouth at 0.96% and West Sussex at 0.77%.
On the separate business register count of warehousing sites employing 10 or more, Medway ranks 9th of the 19 areas in the South East. The middle across the South East is 10, against 10 in Medway.

The warehouse operative role
Warehouse work is picking, packing, loading and putting stock away, usually against a rate and usually on shifts. Voice picking, scanners and pick-to-light all measure what you do, and the rate is the job.
