But as stated in my post, its not necessarily about where the business is located, but the staff. My father in law for example does not have to report to work to travel to an airport, he lives in Cheshire so easier for him to get to Manchester.
When other staff visit his plant, their hotel is in Cheshire so again, easier to use Manchester, despite the plant being in Runcorn.
The story could be repeated in lots of other places and scenarios.
