Office firm kits out charity’s new home

Relocation sees continuation of nine-year partnership

A charity has got a plush look to its new base in Peterborough with the help of longestablished city firm Walters. The Royal National Institute of Blind People has just taken out a 15-year lease onthe first and second floors of Midgate House, in Midgate.

It has moved to the new 19,145 sq ft premises from its former offices in Bakewell Road.

To ensure its offices were up to date, it decided to continue with its nine-year partnership with Walters Office Interiors, of Royce Road.

DarrenWainwright, group head of property for RNIB, said: “Walters has been a trusted business partner for our organisation and during the last year alone has installed furniture in our offices across the wholeof the UK.

“The aim was to create a modern, practical environment with collaborative workspaces, open-plan offices and breakout meeting rooms. There are numerous features to assist membersof the team with sight deficiencies.

“We’ve used contrasting wood finishes, cabinet doors in bright, visible colours.” If your normal working week is three days per week you would be entitled to twelve days’ paid holiday per year, plus the statutory and bank holidays.
