Boost for Mold town centre with 6,000 sq ft letting

Fast-growing North East Wales Carers Information Service has chosen the former Barclays Bank on High Street as the location for its headquarters.

NEWCIS, which provides support and training for unpaid carers, acquired the 6,000 sq ft Mold building last year after Barclays announced it would be shutting the site.

Following a refurbishment project, the property now features a shop, offices, meeting rooms, and a pop-up space for community and health groups to utilise.

Some 50 NEWCIS staff will work from the hub.

“The process has been a real labour of love, but we are here and proud to be at the heart of Mold’s busy high street,” said Claire Sullivan, NEWCIS chief executive.

“Having such a large space and being on the ground floor makes us even more accessible, which is vital as we have carers who work with people living with dementia and disabilities, many of whom struggled to utilise some of our other bases.”

She added: “We hope our presence will be well received, especially the shop as it’s a real blank canvas, the footfall and passing traffic are unlike anything we’ve seen so we want to catch the eye and entice customers in to support us.”

FFP Solutions helped NEWCIS secure funding for the acquisition and DC Wolfe Construction carried out the refurb.
