Script for moving series of sub folders

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Did a search but I didn't quite find what I was looking for. This is probably a fairly easy request but I'm just not sure how to accomplish this.

I have a folder structure that looks something like this:
Code:
/names/company1/archive
/names/company1/newarchive

/names/company2/archive
/names/company2/newarchive

/names/company3/archive
/names/company3/newarchive


There are tons of companies under the /names folder. I want to start at the /names folder and search for any folders under the company/archive folder and move those folders to the same companies company/newarchive folder.

Thanks!
