The business trades from premises that form part of a single storey commercial parade in the heart of the sought after residential area of Fareham just off the M27 at Junction 11. The market town of Fareham lies in the south east of Hampshire between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth roughly in the centre of the South Hampshire conurbation. To the south of the town lies Gosport, to the east Portchester, to the north the M27 motorway. Westwards lie Titchfield, Locks Heath, Warsash and Whitely. Fareham traditionally relied on its clay soil for industry, producing bricks, tiles and chimney pots. The most famous example of a building constructed of "Fareham Red" bricks is probably the Royal Albert Hall in London. The main economic activity in Fareham is now retail, employing 15% of the local population. Fareham has also become a popular choice for the location of business call centres; several of the UK's major banks have offices in Fareham and Adecco, the recruitment agency, claims Fareham as the second best call centre location in the UK. Fareham is situated at the north-west tip of Portsmouth harbour where the River Wallington joins. Small industries still operate, reflecting Fareham's maritime past. HM Royal Navy operate in Fareham with the Maritime Warfare School, HMS Collingwood, training well over 2,000 British and foreign sailors at a time.
