HOUSING provider Anchor will open a new support hub in Bradford city centre on Thursday.

The company, said to be the largest not-for-profit provider of housing and care for older people in England, has worked from two separate offices in the city for many years, which will now be merged to create a central business hub.

The new building, on Godwin Street, will be officially opened by the Deputy Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Roger L’Amie, and the Deputy Lady Mayoress, Elizabeth Smith, alongside hundreds of Anchor staff.

Anchor caters for almost 40,000 customers in 1,000 locations across the UK.
