Where You'll Work - Woking or Romsey

Woking

You'll find our Woking site in a modern building on the outskirts of London. Rated excellent for sustainability by BREEAM & Fitwel certified - you feel better for visiting.

Romsey

You'll find our Romsey site located within beautiful Hampshire countryside, close to the picturesque New Forest District and not far from a superb stretch of the south coast.

There is an expectation that a proportion of your time may be spent working on client sites in the London area.
