Corporate accommodation for Hinckley

Hinckley is the third largest settlement in Leicestershire after Leicester and Loughborough and a natural base for firms that serve both cities. When the Northern Perimeter Road, Normandy Way, took the A47 round the town in the early 1990s, new commercial developments grew up along its length.

Specialist makers give the town a distinctive business mix. Ultima Sports builds high-performance sports cars here and claims its GTR720 set the fastest road-car lap of the Top Gear test track. Several textile firms continue the hosiery trade that once made the town second only to Leicester for stockings.

Visiting staff can reach Hinckley by rail as well as road: its station sits on the Nuneaton to Leicester section of the Birmingham to Peterborough line. London is a change away, via Nuneaton to Euston or via Leicester to St Pancras.

Sullivan Heights is about 11 miles by road from Hinckley, Stoke Lodge and Stoke House about 12 miles and Humber Hub about 13 miles. A team gets a whole house with one set of arrival instructions and a pro-forma invoice carrying its PO reference.

The M69 runs directly between Coventry and Hinckley, so the morning run out to a client site is a single road.

Evenings in Coventry are easy to fill for a visiting team. The Belgrade Theatre was the first civic theatre built in Britain after the Second World War and takes its name from the twin city of Belgrade, which gave the beech timber for it.
