Why Train in Wrexham?

Wrexham is one of the largest manufacturing and logistics hubs in Wales, home to Wrexham Industrial Estate (the second-largest in the UK), Wrexham Technology Park and major employers such as Kellogg's, JCB, Kronospan, Ipsen Biopharm, Moneypenny and Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Training locally keeps your team compliant with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 without losing hours to travel into Chester or Liverpool.

With its newly awarded city status and a strong industrial heritage, Wrexham has a robust manufacturing and service economy. For employers, particularly those on the large industrial estate, providing adequate first aid response as required by the HSE is a critical safety and legal priority.

Wrexham General railway station (2.2 miles) offers direct services to Chester (25 min), Shrewsbury (40 min) and onward connections to Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff via Transport for Wales. The A483 dual carriageway links Wrexham to the A55 North Wales Expressway (M53/M56) and south to the M54, making us easy to reach from Chester, Mold, Ruabon, Oswestry and Llangollen.
