WELCOME TO ROCK COMPLIANCE ALCESTER

Located just outside historic Stratford-on-Avon, Rock Compliance Alcester serves our customers in Warwickshire and beyond, offering water hygiene, air hygiene, water treatment, mechanical and electrical compliance, and pre-commissioning and commissioning. But there is even more going on at this busy office!

Rock Compliance Alcester is one of our largest sites, and is also home to our Finance Team, Business Manager, IT Manager and Fleet Manager.  In addition, it’s where we host our company induction meetings, where all new starters come to meet the Leadership Team and other key Rock Compliance staff.

And that’s not all –  Rock Compliance Alcester is the centre of the School of Rock, where our training services are planned and can be delivered (though we use many other venues across the UK too).

Why we love Alcester…

“Salve!”  This is how you might have been greeted if you had visited Alcester in AD47, when it was a walled town and Roman fort called Alauna. Alcester is a Roman town, and there are many archaeological sites of interest in the town and surrounding area. It’s one of the most investigated Roman small towns in the country, with over 100 archaeological digs in the last 80 years.

Alcester and the surrounding area are lovely places to visit, with a historic town hall, Norman church and Medieval market cross amongst the places to put on your list.

It’s also just a short journey to Stratford-upon-Avon, so it’s close to Shakespeare’s birthplace, the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre, Shakespeare’s schoolroom, Shakespeare’s grave… You can even jostle with the thousands of tourists to buy a plastic mini-bust of the great man himself.

Interesting fact

Alcester is close to two stately homes, one of which is Coughton Court. Coughton Court is now a National Trust property, but from 1409 onwards it was inhabited by twenty-one generations of the Throckmorton family.

Bess Throckmorton, the daughter of Anne Carew and Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, was Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Elizabeth I. She secretly married Sir Walter Raleigh in 1591.  The Queen was so angry that she sent them both to the Tower of London, but fortunately not for long!
