I would say that now that the plant has gone dormant it is a good time to move it, prune it first to make it easier to handle, also after pruning use some of the offcuts to make new plants if you want any more.

. . . to propogate the offcuts - is it as simple as plunging them into the soil??

thanks, moved it yesterday and my hands are a bit sore of getting spiked and yes debs to get off cuts just plug a branch down into the soil and in a few weeks the roots will sprout :)

Worth a try, I did it succesfully with blackcurrents too.
