Insurance provider Saga Group has announced the intended purchase of new office space in Hastings.

Situated at One Priory Square in the town centre, the property is set to be opened in the new year, with the company becoming the town's largest private employer if all goes to plan.

Saga will continue to operate from its headquarters in Folkestone, but will manage up to 800 call centre and support staff in Hastings.
