The UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) is the leading trade organisation for the fast-growing UK warehousing sector. Around 1000 full members include third party warehousing and logistics service providers, as well as warehousing users such as retailers and manufacturers, Between them, UKWA members represent some 200 million sq ft of warehousing and distribution space across thousands of locations in the UK.

Warehousing is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK and combined with the wider logistics industry, contributes £165 billion Gross Value Added (GVA) to the national economy. The UK’s warehousing footprint has grown by more than 50% in the past 10 years, reflecting increasingly extended activities undertaken within the supply chain and as part of the circular economy.

UKWA provides a range of business support benefits to members, as well as being a powerful, independent voice for the industry, representing members’ interests and views to policy makers and other influencers.

Our mission is to promote wider recognition and appreciation of the sector, while driving up industry standards, building community and supporting UKWA members in achieving their goals for growth.
