Guide Dogs for the Blind move to heart of Shrewsbury

Morris Property is delighted to report that new tenant, Guide Dogs for the Blind, are settling well into their new ground and first floor suite recently refurbished office suites at Morris’s popular New Zealand House, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury.

Guide Dogs for the Blind is an association which provides independence and freedom to thousands of blind and partially sighted people across the UK through the provision of guide dogs, mobility and other rehabilitation services. They also campaign passionately for the rights of those with visual impairments and invest millions of pounds in eye disease research.

They have relocated to higher profile offices within New Zealand House which occupies an extremely prominent main road frontage directly onto Abbey Foregate. The offices are a short walk from a variety of local amenities including shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and supermarkets. There is also ample onsite parking and public transport links nearby.

“New Zealand House is a perfect location to raise our profile and increase our number of volunteers.” commented Colin Elliot, Mobility Team Manager.
