frame jig

I am looking to start rebuilding my s2 eibar. I noticed the headset is bent. Possibly during transport from Spain to the UK. The headlight bit is bent upwards as though the front end has dropped down on something solid. It still fits OK.
Just for peace of mind I am thinking of getting the frame checked to ensure it is straight.
I am in York. Does anyone know who has a jig in the local area.
I know of a jig in Manchester (mike phoeinix I believe). Is there one closer to York?

I went up to Durham and Shaun put my frame on his jig.
It was straight. He tweaked it a bit. But it was fine.
I now have peace of mind.
He is a really nice guy.
Thanks guys for recommending him.
