OUR OFFICE

Our Saffron Walden office is housed in the historic Council Offices, a building with a fascinating past. Built in 1866 as the Saffron Walden General Hospital, it served the local community for over a century before closing in 1988. The site later became offices for Uttlesford District Council, preserving its heritage while giving it a new purpose.

Ceres Group established its headquarters here in 2021. The office has expanded alongside our team, moving upstairs in 2022 to a larger space and further enlarging in 2025 with a modern boardroom equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Today, it serves as the hub for our operations and client meetings in Saffron Walden.

What Our clients Think

Ceres Rural supported us on a project outside of our usual day-to-day activities and expertise, making sure we not only secured a fantastic brand for our business, but also obtained value for money, and facilitated the establishment of a cost-effective marketing function moving forward.

Charles & Katie Ford, Beckerings Park

George Badger was very knowledgeable, quickly understood the farm layout, enterprises and their challenges, and provided thorough advice on how to move forward with the changing funding streams and rules etc. He also provided details for other advice outside his field of expertise.

Duncan Parker, Chilton Grounds Farm

Olivia helped us design a shoot card for our home farm. The process was fun and very efficient, with a quick turnaround. We’ve really enjoyed using the card at six shoots already – it’s professional and functional, yet still very visually appealing.
