The open-plan offices, totalling 3,400sq ft, were officially opened by AM for Torfaen Lynne Neagle.

Kerry Phelps, Alzheimer’s Society’s operations manager for Gwent, said: “This new, central facility is ideal for us as it offers scope for expansion, particularly in relation to the implementation and development of Alzheimer’s Society’s 201722 strategy, The New Deal on Dementia.

“We had five offices – one in each local authority area (Monmouthshire, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Torfaen and Newport) This is a consolidation of all five, bringing the whole team together from across the locality.

The new office space was refurbished, by Johnsey Estates, on budget and on time.

James Crawford, chief eecutive of Johnsey Estates, said: “I am very pleased with the way that this refurbishment has gone, this could be one of our best ones yet.

“The in-house Mamhilad Park Estate team did a marvellous job in creating the new space and managed to deliver it on time and to specification by working as an efficient team during unsocial hours to reduce the impact of the work on existing occupiers in the building.

“I am also glad that the Alzheimer’s Society are so thrilled with their new office space and all the facilities included within it and the rest of the estate.”
