PROPERTY consultancy GJS Dillon has let recently-refurbished offices close to Worcester city centre to a charity dedicated to helping disadvantaged people find work.

The Shaw Trust is moving into the 6,448 sq ft Unit 2, Tolladine Road, half a mile to the east of the city centre.

It is a not-for-profit organisation which helps disabled or disadvantaged people find sustainable employment, or helps them to enjoy more independent living.

The Trowbridge-based charity was formed in 1981 and works with the long-term unemployed, people with physical or mental health issues, learning difficulties or lack of skills or work opportunities.

The single-storey purpose-built office building was recently refurbished. The largely open-plan building includes meeting rooms and kitchens and has on-site parking for 44 vehicles. The building was let on behalf of Worcester-based Elite Properties.

John Dillon of GJS Dillon said: “This is a good quality office building in an excellent position in a mixed commercial district close to the city centre. We are pleased to have attracted such a well-suited client, involved in vital work for the community, to occupy this property.

“This is Worcester’s largest office letting this year and is symptomatic of a general upward trend in the office market throughout the county.”
