Brief description

Mr Ian Ratcliffe has owned the agency for many years and the manager, Miss Diane Grindrod, has been responsible for the day-to-day operation.

The agency is located in a prominent position in Ormskirk, close to the town centre and easily reached by road and public transport. The agency is on ground floor level, comprising of three separate offices, therefore ensuring that a separate area is available for interviews or private meetings.
