The chance to work in our award-winning, custom-built headquarters, complete with climbing wall, go-karts, and a squash court. The opportunity to work in the fantastic area of Teesside - the world's best kept secret. Labman HQ is located on the outskirts of the Georgian Market town of Stokesley - a stone's throw from the breath-taking East Coast and the Yorkshire moors and yet only 90 minutes from the Lake District and 2 hours to London by train. If you're local, you know all this. If you're not, then keep it to yourself; we like to keep the 'grim up north' facade going as it helps keep the numbers down.
