Location
The studios are situated in picturesque countryside surroundings just three miles from the busy market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. This makes for a peaceful working environment. It also provides the land required to expand through a continual programme of investment into the production facilities.
Many staff relocate to seek a career at Daedalian Glass Studios and our team are more than willing to help with this process. There is a good supply of reasonably priced apartments and houses available for rent or purchase, both locally and within the wider Fylde Coast area.
Community
Our location is also ideal if you wish to explore this beautiful and diverse part of the country. Daedalian’s studio is approximately 1.5 hour’s drive from Manchester, Liverpool, the Yorkshire Dales and the English Lake District National Parks. We are also conveniently placed with excellent rail links to the West Coast Main Line which means both London and Edinburgh are only two to three hours away.
If nightlife is your thing, Poulton-Le-Fylde has a lively scene with an array of bars and restaurants, while the bright lights of Blackpool are also on the doorstep. Slightly further away are the university cities of Preston and Lancaster. All these locations are easily within commutable distance – in fact members of Daedalian’s team travel daily from each.
Working Hours
The studio working hours are 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday but staff must be prepared to be flexible. Delivering on our clients’ expectations is the most important priority and, when required, staff work extra hours to ensure this is achieved. Daedalian operates on a time off in lieu system, so our staff often enjoy a long weekend or a rest day once projects are complete.
