Living and working in Cheshire

Cheshire is a ceremonial county set in the heart of Northwest England, bordering Flintshire in Northeast Wales, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire. It combines the historic city of Chester, the heritage of Northwich, industrial Ellesmere Port and Macclesfield, with vast rural areas, small villages, over 1,000 acres of woodland at Delamere Forest, part of the Peak District National Park and the southern hills of the Pennines. Cheshire really does have something for everyone.

Living and working in Cheshire offers a blend of countryside calm and urban convenience, with opportunities across retail, construction, education and more. Cheshire has established itself as one of the UK's major business hotspots, home to a highly skilled workforce and notable employers including Vauxhall, Essar Energy, M&S Bank, Bentley Motors, AstraZeneca, Royal London, Siemens and Barclays.

There's a wide range of housing too, whether you prefer city-centre living or a quieter village life. Cheshire is known for its picturesque countryside, historic towns and villages, and is well placed to serve Manchester and Liverpool, with London just two hours away by train. Easy access to the M6 and M56 keeps you a short journey from wherever you need to be.
