Welcome to Cheltenham – a town known for its vibrant horse racing scene, renowned literature and science festivals, and breathtaking views of the Cotswolds. It also happens to be home to our headquarters. We first came to the town in the 1950s and moved into the iconic Doughnut in 2003. In here you'll find our 24/7 operations centre, an extensive archive of historical artefacts, a gym, numerous coffee shops and thousands of our dedicated colleagues all working to help keep the UK safe.
