Has anyone been here and knows which is the best way to get to it? I’ve had a look and none of the roads to it look great.
Thanks

Leave A14 at Jct 43 A143 Diss/Great Yarmouth road and continue to A140, by passing Diss town centre. Left onto A140 across 1st roundabout (A1066) to next roundabout. Take 3rd exit signposted Box Factory (Lorry Route) and that should take you there. It is actually in Rushall not Diss itself.
Hope this helps.

I used to go a143 up to diss [scone r/bout] straight across next r/bout t/r dickleboro.
T/r onto rectory rd at shop[signed 7.5tons except access.Along the rd,just past the half moon pub,signed box fcty t/l straight on factory on left.
Now then its 20yrs since ive been and at the time the weight limit was not stricty enforced and I used to do it twice a week s/times but I remember the detour used to be a real pain in the arse.
Doubtless somebody will be along to put me right.Good luck buddy.
A143 from bury until you get to the A140.
Turn left towards Norwich on the A140.
2nd roundabout turn right (3rd exit)
After about a mile you will see a church on your left and a shop on your right, turn right at the shop (ignore the weight limit).
Stay on that road until you come to a pub on your left (the half moon).
Turn left just after the pub.
You will see 2 caravans in the garden of the bungalow on your right, bear rightish after them and stay on that road until you see the factory on your left.
When you draw upto the security gate you will have to get out of truck to book in. You will need to have your boots and high vis on before entering site. Follow the instructions the guard gives you and you won’t go wrong.
Once you are parked on the trailer park, (im assuming your collecting cardboard) walk towards the factory car park (Not the office carpark) keeping the factory on your right. Half way down you will see a smoking shelter on your right and a red door. Go through that door and follow the blue walk way until yiu reach the coffee machine room. You will go left right left staying on the blue walk way until you reach a light brown door. Go through it and the office is on your left. If no one is in the office there is a bell just around the corner of the office for you to summon a forkie.
Hope it helps.

I wasn’t sure about the weight limit. I’m taking reels in on Monday Lizard. Thanks for the advice everyone

Your welcome. As you have now said you are taking reels in, book in at security as per above but then you will have to park on the right just after you go through the gate until the reel store unloading area is clear.
To get to the reel store once you are called round go right round the building keeping it on your right until you come to a gate. Put you nose against the fence to the left of the gate and start unstrapping and Kenny will come to you for the paperwork.
Don’t unstrap your load until you are at the reel store as your not allowed to drive around the site with an unsecure load.

That’s great lizard thanks again
I used to drive along that section of A140 when transporting cardboard between Smufit Kappa in Norwich and their Chelmsford factory but never had the pleasure of visiting the “Box Factory”.
