    Hi Bogdan,

    Unfortunately, it is a mandatory requirement to live within 60 minutes travelling time to the depot, and without relying on public transport when it is not available. It is the safety responsibilities of the role that make this requirement a necessity.

I saw that Lumo's new headquarters has just opened in Preston. I'd love to know if the marketing department will be based there and if there are plans to recruit or if positions have already been filled?
