Centralines has opened the doors on its new depot.
After 27 years at its Peel Street depot, the company’s nearly 50 employees will now work from Coughlan Road.
General Manager Jason Larkin said several multi-purpose rooms have been built, which will soon be available for community events in the future.
Designed by Citrus Studio, and built by Gemco, the building has been constructed to a seismic rating suitable for emergency services, and will also help the company reduce its carbon footprint with a solar array producing renewable energy.
