Being good enough isn't our way of doing things. We want to provide the best water and wastewater services in the UK, and be absolutely genuine in the help and support we offer our customers.  

Our purpose is to provide great service to customers and communities in the North West, creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.

Working at Lingley Mere  

We're lucky enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life at our beautiful offices at Lingley Mere Business Park in Great Sankey, Warrington. Complete with its very own lake as well as all the mod-cons you might expect, we've built a place where our employees love to come to work. 

We have first-class facilities on-site, so whether you want to grab a coffee at Starbucks or a freshly cooked meal from our restaurant, we've got you covered. If fitness is your thing, we have an on-site gym, a running club and various walking routes across the site. To keep life flowing smoothly, we provide a free shuttle bus to and from Warrington town centre for all our employees, as well as generous free car parking on-site.

From our award-winning digital facilities (complete with AI employees) to innovative science labs, Lingley Mere has it all. You might even spot our resident heron!
