When you're not on site, you'll be based at Grosvenor House, in Basing View. A modern and spacious office, offering an onsite gym, roof terrace, and Café. Whether you drive, bike, or commute by train, you can benefit from free parking, secure bike storage, or just a 5-minute walk from Basingstoke train station
