What the official data says about Nottingham
Warehousing and storage in Nottingham is counted at 1,000 employee jobs, 0.47% of the 213,000 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 500 freight transport by road jobs in Nottingham are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.
UK Business Counts recorded 40 warehousing and storage sites in Nottingham at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 35 of them, 87.5%, 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 Nottingham, 500 are part time, 45.5% of the split. The middle across the East Midlands is 10.8%, so Nottingham sits above it, 1st of 10 areas on this measure. Part-time hours outweigh full-time ones in the local split, so check the contracted hours on an advert rather than assuming a full week.
Two further counts round out the Nottingham picture: 240 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 1,740 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.
Measured on warehousing and storage, share of all employee jobs, Nottingham ranks 8th of the 10 areas in the East Midlands. The middle across the East Midlands is 1.9%, against 0.47% in Nottingham. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 0.87%. Next to Nottingham in that order sit Leicester at 0.58% and Lincolnshire at 0.42%.
On the separate business register count of warehousing sites employing 10 or more, Nottingham ranks 9th of the 10 areas in the East Midlands. The middle across the East Midlands is 40, against 5 in Nottingham. Across the 153 areas in England the middle is 10. Next to Nottingham in that order sit Leicester at 5 and Rutland at 0.

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.
