A heating firm's new £1.3 million headquarters in Norfolk has now opened.
Macbrook Group celebrated the launch of Macbrook House in Snetterton Business Park with an event attended by guests and partners.
The building will serve as the company’s head office and includes Macbrook Workspace, a co-working facility for start-ups and small businesses.
Johnathan McKenna, chief executive of Macbrook Group, said: "The completion and opening of Macbrook House marks a significant milestone in our journey and reflects how far the business has come over recent years.
"We wanted this occasion to represent something much bigger than simply opening a new building.
"We've developed a strong relationship with The Big Issue and Social Brokers through our shared belief that everyone should have access to opportunity, regardless of their background or circumstances."
Lord John Bird MBE, founder of The Big Issue, officially opened the building on September 4.
"It's been brilliant coming here, cutting the ribbon and it's just lovely to meet everybody and talk and actually enjoy a really big social as well as business success," he said.
"The work that Macbrook is doing is absolutely brilliant. It's about getting people into work. It's about giving people a second chance.
"And it is about raising the standard of skills amongst people who are often left behind.
"The best way of getting people out of poverty is to get businesses involved.
"Because businesses are the ones who are there for the long term."
The launch event featured a drinks reception, live entertainment and a silent charity auction, with proceeds going to support the work of The Big Issue and Social Brokers.
Macbrook Group works across the gas, renewables, utilities, construction and property sectors and recently provided funding towards a dedicated jobs coach to help individuals move into work.
