There’s lots of windows and natural light, it’s a calm, pleasant and friendly workplace, with a great canteen/break out space along with some outside space for those brighter dry days to eat outside or head for a walk.

There are several retail parks and leisure centres, the town centre also has a thriving market along with a mix of independent and well known chain stores.
