I don't think I'd consider wiredworkplace to be a real colo
facility... 

Avensys have a colo place in Attercliffe which does make life easy
when you ned to swap out a dead disk, but they have a shocking web
site with no info on it and also they don't seem to be very cheap in
my experience...

But might be worth emailing them for a quote...

Internet Facilitators in Manchester look like a very interesting
option:

They have verious deals:

  How about a full 47u rack complete with 1 megabit per second
  Internet bandwidth, 5a sustained power (16A max) for £400 a month*

  Or a self contained 1/4 rack with 64 kilobits per second Internet
  bandwidth and 3A sustained power for £180 per month?

  4u of shared rackspace with 10GB per month Internet transfer? £80

And driving over the snake is nowhere near as bad as driving down
the M1 ;-)
