What the official data says about Middlesbrough
Warehousing and storage in Middlesbrough is counted at 200 employee jobs, 0.31% of the 64,000 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 700 freight transport by road jobs in Middlesbrough are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.
UK Business Counts recorded 20 warehousing and storage sites in Middlesbrough at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 15 of them, 75%, employ under ten, well below the usual share. Warehousing that shape is built on big sheds, and big sheds mean four on four off, twilights and nights.
Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Middlesbrough, 40 are part time, 21.1% of the split. The middle across the North East is 21.7%, so Middlesbrough sits level with it, 7th of 12 areas on this measure. Warehousing carries real part-time hours in most areas, and a share at this level generally means twilight and weekend shifts alongside the core rota.
Two further counts round out the Middlesbrough picture: 50 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 950 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
Measured on warehousing and storage, share of all employee jobs, Middlesbrough ranks 11th of the 12 areas in the North East. The middle across the North East is 1.79%, against 0.31% in Middlesbrough. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 0.87%. Next to Middlesbrough in that order sit North Tyneside at 0.45% and Newcastle upon Tyne at 0.04%.
On the separate business register count of warehousing sites employing 10 or more, Middlesbrough ranks 8th of the 12 areas in the North East. The middle across the North East is 5, against 5 in Middlesbrough. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 10. Next to Middlesbrough in that order sit Hartlepool at 5 and North Tyneside at 5.

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.
