Magna Park
Leading the way in warehousing & distribution services
Situated in Milton Keynes, one of the UK’s best transport and distribution hubs, our facility sits in a prime location to serve the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, ensuring orders reach customers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Operating since 2013, our industry-leading warehousing and distribution centre works to the mantra “Picked in full, delivered on time and to the customers specification”.
Since 2025, Magna Park has also become home to our in-house printing facilities, further strengthening our integrated printing, warehousing and distribution capabilities on one site.
As a business, we benefit from a variety of functions being carried out on site:
Our dedicated customer care team are available throughout the working week from Monday to Friday to support our 2,000+ independent customer base. From dealing with day-to-day customer queries, supporting our sales representatives, or supplementing marketing campaigns, all calls are answered by our knowledgeable and committed team within one minute.
As one of the few retail display planning companies in the UK, we stand almost alone in creating displays that offer visual impact backed by specific and in-depth sales analysis.
We work with 50 other publishers in the greeting card industry, meaning we have a fully supported and successful planning programme. This enables us to create displays that offer a wide selection of on-trend and traditional products dependent on client needs.
Our rapidly growing bespoke W-Select programme offers a hands-on approach to greeting cards without the hassle.
The success of our operation relies heavily on our brokered stock management team. Working closely with the publishers that support our planning programme, we hold 8 weeks’ worth of stock in our distribution centre to fulfil our 150 independent retailers as well as national retailers.
The brokerage team not only manages stock and support the client relationship, they also provide insightful sales analysis that can be tailored to each retailer.
Our production facility reflects our commitment to high-quality, UK-based manufacturing. By managing key elements of printing in-house, we maintain visibility, accountability and consistent quality control from file to finished product.
With the installation of our Komori press, we have strengthened our ability to produce greeting cards with precision colour management, reduced set-up waste and improved efficiency across print runs.
In-house production enables us to:
• Maintain rigorous quality standards

• Respond quickly to demand

At Woodmansterne, “Relationships First” is one of our core values. We apply this not only to our customers, but equally to the suppliers and partners who support our operations.
Wherever possible, we actively seek local or UK-based suppliers, ensuring no compromise on quality, cost efficiency, delivery performance, or compliance with our supplier standards and wider regulatory guidelines.
When establishing our Magna Park site, we partnered with three key suppliers who played an integral role in bringing the facility to life:

System Storage Solutions
Experts in storage design and logistics infrastructure, responsible for the design, build and project management of our bespoke racking systems, optimising workflow and warehouse efficiency.
Komori Europe

Through long-term, collaborative partnerships such as these, we aim to build a supply chain that reflects our values of quality, accountability and mutual respect.
