HAVING lived in New Zealand for the past two-and-a-half years, I was sent the news clipping concerning Ashwood House being turned into an interview suite for victim support.

Having owned Ashwood House before selling to the present owner, my wife and I are both delighted that the former 10-bedded care home is going to be used for such a great project.

The home was built to be client-friendly without the institutional look of many similar places.

We both feel that with the new use of the building maybe our time in the care home business was not wasted.
