Description of the Operations
In the UK, we have around 800 employees spread across five main sites; Winnersh, Cheadle, Yarnton, Church Stretton and Edinburgh.
Our teams in the UK work across the three Agilent businesses, Life Sciences Group (LSG)  and Chemical Analysis Group (CAG) and the Electronic Measurement Group (EMG).

As the market leader in test and measurement for the telecommunications and wireless industries, our Edinburgh facility designs, develops and markets innovative solutions for customers all over the world.

From our Life Sciences (LSG) Sales and Support Office in Cheadle near Manchester, we serve Britain's world-leading pharmaceuticals industry, together with the chemical, environmental, food and medical industries. Our Cheadle site provides a single point of contact for our entire LSG and CAG customer base in the UK.

In Winnersh, our customer service centre handles requests relating to new and existing business from customers all over the UK, as well as providing a facility for equipment repair and upgrades. Agilent's Winnersh, site in Berkshire, is home to a number of teams, including the Test and Measurement organisation's UK Field team, the UK's customer service and support centre, the UK Test and Measurement Call Centre and the life Sciences and Chemical Analysis field sales team.

At our Yarnton site we provide complete solutions, including instruments, vacuum components, laboratory consumable supplies, software, training and support through our global distribution system.
