CROWDS gathered to celebrate the opening of First Choice Homes’ flagship headquarters in Union Street.
The new glass building — First Place — was built with the help of 11 apprentices, to help boost the Get Oldham Working initiative.
Cath Green, FCHO chief executive, said: “We’ve just been named as one of the UK’s best companies to work for and our new state-of-the-art working environment has just made our colleagues’ working days that much better.
“Combined with improved services and access for our customers, the result means colleagues can work for, and with, our customers in a much more effective and efficient way.”
The building is on four floors, with a glass atrium to maximise natural daylight and help ventilation. It also features a staff cafe.
