A CARE agency is celebrating the opening of extended office space at its headquarters in Saxmundham.

Christies Care, a specialist live-in care agency, which has been based in the town for over 20 years and has now expanded its premises in the Old Post Office in the High Street.

The new office space has room for nine members of staff and includes a new kitchen area.

Managing director Nicola Warner said: “We are delighted with our new office extension. It is something we had been considering for some time, as we knew we were short on space. The addition of the new office has given us much more room to work, and will make life much easier for our carers visiting our Carer Support Teams.”

The headquarters employs 90 staff, making one of the town’s largest employers.
