If you are in the Oxford area, you could try Chiltern Circuits in Princess Risborough (on the web). May not be the cheapest, but they are local enough for me to be able to drive over and discuss any special requirements.

Much cheaper for anything over ~3 days, because even their 1 day super fast cost is less than a UK 10 day cost. -- John Devereux
