Whitehaven Office

Did you know… Our Whitehaven office was one of our first offices to open, opening in 1986 at 79 Lowther Street. Let’s have a look into some key facts about the area…

ONE: Key Industries

In the 18th and 19th century the tobacco and coal industries were highly significant to Whitehaven. Trading approximately 10% of England’s tobacco business, Whitehaven was a ‘haven’ for this industry.

TWO: Sellafield

Baker Mallett are delighted to announce that we have been appointed as the Supplier on the Sellafield Contractor Compliance Auditing Services Contract for Sellafield Ltd. It is great to work alongside fantastic teams on this nuclear site.
