Our offices are located in the heart of Cheshire, around 20 miles south west of Manchester. We are easily reached by road from the M56 or M6 and have a mainline railway station nearby. Personal callers are welcome but please do let us know in advance so that we can check that the appropriate person will be available to deal with your enquiry. Driving directions are given below and you may also find this locator map useful.

Special note for SatNav users

If you are using a SatNav system which uses a postcode to locate us you will be directed to the middle of a housing estate a few miles down the road! To avoid this, please enter CW8 1JH for directions to the top of Chester Road and, once here, look out for a small side road with 'Headwater' signs close to a pedestrian crossing.
