Can you answer a question about KW1 5YQ?
KW1 5YQ is a large user postcode in Wick, Highland. It was first introduced in July 2013.
'Large User' postcodes are allocated to organisations which receive large amounts of post. Unlike standard geographic postcodes, which cover up to 80 addresses, a large user postcode is unique to a single address.
To the best of our knowledge, the current address of this postcode is:
Graeme Budge, PO Box 6458, Wick KW1 5YQ.
The geographic coordinates assigned to a large user postcode may not necessarily be the actual coordinates of the location to which mail is delivered. If the address is a PO Box, then the coordinates will usually be the Royal Mail sorting office which handles mail for that postcode. In other cases, the coordinates of the postcode may be the headquarters, or registered office, of an organisation rather than the building which receives mail.
KW1 5YQ is in the Wick travel to work area. NHS services are provided by the Highland Health and Social Care Partnership Primary Care Trust.
