We are very much a midland agency and proud to serve the town and people of Rugby. Having been born and bred here we are able to promote the benefits of this historic town and its proud heritage. Rugby is so much more than just the heart of England, it is a popular town for families, with excellent schools and transport links.

Once boasting the longest platform in the country; the beautiful Victorian Railway Station survives to this day. Also, of course the game of Rugby that took its name from this town where it was invented on the playing fields of Rugby School. Another historic and world famous institution to be proud of, Rugby School was also the inspiration for the famous novel, Tom Brown`s School Days and its famous Headmaster Thomas Arnold is credited as the inspiration behind the modern Olympics.

Only 83 miles from London (46 minutes by train) and 30 miles from Birmingham, many local people commute to the big cities all over the country due to the central location and readily accessible road and rail networks of Rugby.

Returning travellers always knew they were nearly home when the 820ft high radio masts of Rugby Radio Station came into view. `From Rugby to the world` these masts were used to communicate to all British Colonies worldwide throughout most of the 20th century and also to initiate the first transatlantic commercial telephone service linking London and New York in 1927.

Famous war poet Rupert Brooke was born in the town and his house still stands. Sir Frank Whittle often used the local Brownsover Hall Hotel during his residence in the town whilst developing the world`s first Jet Engine at the Rugby factory of `British Thomson-Houston`, a beacon of engineering excellence renowned the world over.

Rugby is unrivalled in English history, a truly diverse and exciting place to live.
