AN AUTISM charity has moved into its new headquarters in Lowton following a period of "significant growth".

The Remarkable Autism Charity has acquired a new office space that will offer a more "bespoke and flexible workspace".

The charity has well-established roots in nearby Newton-le-Willows and runs Wargrave House School, Ascent Autism Specialist College, and Sundial Therapy. 

Remarkable Autism said its decision to move to new headquarters in Lowton comes as the organisation wants to encourage more people to join its mission to change lives for autistic individuals. 

Situated at Stone Cross Court off East Lancashire Road, the modern, self-contained unit boasts a 4,177 square footage to accommodate the growing team. 

The two-story office offers a flexible and practical workspace, with large meeting and conference rooms designed to encourage and foster a collaborative working environment for Remarkable staff. 

The acquisition of the new head office comes during a pivotal time in the organisation’s expansion journey and will help create between 10 to 15 jobs.

CEO of Remarkable Autism Charity, Robin Bush, said: “Over the last few years, Remarkable Autism has undergone a significant period of growth across each of our provisions.

"With such growth comes a need for us to offer a more bespoke and flexible workspace for our central team colleagues. 

“The new space will allow us to welcome new staff into our organisation and provide all colleagues with a central hub for collaborating, training opportunities, meetings and so much more. 

Robin added: “It is an incredibly exciting time at Remarkable Autism. We have ambitious plans, and this new office space is just the beginning of what promises to be another truly remarkable year for our organisation.”

The spacious office is home to Remarkable employees across several business functions, including human resources, administration and finance.  

The leasing of the space was facilitated by joint letting agents Parkinson Real Estate and Hitchcock Wright & Partners. 

Dan Crawshaw, from Parkinson Real Estate, added: “This most recent letting at Stone Cross Court means the scheme benefits full occupancy once again.

"Stone Cross Court has proved a popular development and due to the quality of the products and its sought-after regional positioning, equal distance between Liverpool and Manchester, space does not remain here for long. 

“Leaders at Remarkable Autism completed their own due diligence extremely quickly to allow them to enter into early lease negotiations and credit should be given to the respective professional teams acting both for the landlord, our clients [Eric Wright Group], and Remarkable Autism.”
