A SOFTWARE company is developing an old school building in Witney into new offices.

Amadeus Software recently purchased the building in Wesley Walk, which dates back to 1850.

The church hall was previously operated as a school and has been empty since 2010. The company, which employs about 36 staff, has started renovating the property and hopes to reuse materials and maintain as many of its features as possible.

It is expected to be completed within the next nine to 12 months.

Amadeus currently operates out of Mulberry House which overlooks Church Green.
