Why Warrington?

The question isn't why - but why not? Ask Ikea. In 1987 they chose Warrington to be the site of the UK's first Ikea store. It was a smart move.

Ask Amazon, Hermes, Asda and Travis Perkins why they located to Omega Business Park - a thriving development on what was the location of the US Army Air Force's most significant base outside America. Or why is Birchwood now home to world-leading nuclear engineering giants Sellafield?

It's straightforward. These companies want the best logistical, digital connectivity and access to a skilled workforce not just in the North West but in the UK.

Welcome to Warrington.

Where the North West connects

Flanked by Liverpool and Manchester and situated at the heart of the regional motorway network, it's obvious why businesses locate to Warrington.
