Leamington Spa Guide dogs Charity
The Guide Dogs Training School at Leamington Spa started in 1941 and today trains 220 dogs a year.
With such a high demand, training space on the site was at a premium so when attention turned to converting the draughty old garage into a dedicated training centre, ORBS didn’t hesitate to offer a solution.
Along with our supply chain partners and Willmott Dixon ORBS provided new electrical and mechanical services including lighting, fire alarm and heating. The result is a multi-use training centre we are all proud of.
