HQ Function

Notable Features:

Shire Hall is a historic Grade I listed building, originally built in the 17th and 18th centuries. It features impressive Georgian architecture, including a notable Great Hall and courtrooms. Part of the building complex also includes the former Crown Court.

Work Culture:

A public service-oriented environment focused on collaboration, community engagement, and efficiency. Employees are dedicated to serving the needs of Warwickshire's residents. There's a blend of historical reverence for the building with modern administrative practices.

HQ Significance:

Shire Hall serves as the historic seat of justice and governance for Warwickshire, symbolizing the council's commitment to the county and its heritage, while also being the operational center for modern local government.

Values Reflected in HQ: The building reflects values of heritage, public service, transparency (with public access to meetings), and stability, representing the enduring role of local government.

Location:

As a UK local government authority, Warwickshire County Council's primary focus is on serving the residents, businesses, and communities within the geographical boundaries of Warwickshire. It does not have a 'global presence' in the sense of international offices for service delivery. Any international engagement is typically related to economic development partnerships, cultural exchanges (e.g., town twinning arrangements managed by district/borough councils within Warwickshire), or sharing best practices with other local government bodies internationally.
