The move consolidates their two original offices into a larger, modern environment that will allow for further team expansion.
Ashley Cox, Managing Director, ZEDRA Jersey, says: “Our search for a new home began last year and we are thrilled to now be in our new building and have our team together under one roof.
“It’s plain to see that the new offices and facilities have proved a great boost to morale and the team are clearly very proud of our new home. It’s been a positive decision to move to the east of town where there is a thriving business community and we are pleased to be able to invest in an area of St Helier where we can make a difference.”
‘The Taste’ café was due to move out of the Colomberie area, but, according to the owner, Emanuel de Jesus, ZEDRA’s arrival has improved trade, saying that: “The Taste has been operating in Colomberie for the past seven years. In that time, business has been up and down as companies have moved in and out of the area, mainly to the Esplanade. The arrival of ZEDRA to Colomberie has been really encouraging and hopefully others will follow, giving a boost to all local businesses. The increased footfall is helping our business and will also help to regenerate the area.”
ZEDRA will officially launch their new office with an art auction event on 13 July which will also support their corporate charity Les Amis, and help islanders with learning difficulties.
Shaun Findlay, Managing Director, Les Amis, says: “We are extremely grateful for ZEDRA’s support which will play a pivotal role in expanding a variety of our services and community programmes, ensuring that individuals with disabilities have access to positive and equal opportunities in Jersey.”
