Warrington
With a population of just under 200,000 Warrington is the largest town in Cheshire. Although the town dates back to Roman times, much of its development has taken place since its designation as a new town in 1968.
Located at the intersection of the North West’s major motorways (M56, M6 and M62), the town is a major transport and distribution centre.
