Google knows (almost) everything: http://www.co-operative.coop/Master Brand/PDFs/UK Beekeeper Associations 3.pdf Just scroll down to North Staffordshire or do a Ctrl F and type in "Leek".

Not sure how up to date it is as it is still showing me as the Secretary of Devon but the lady mentioned should be able to point you in the right direction.

They should be able to provide you with names of local bee breeders.
