Ashby-based workplace consultants and office fit-out specialists Blueprint Interiors has appointed Kim Bates as its new office manager.

Kim, who lives in Ashby, has worked in business administration and accounting roles for her entire 15 year career - during which she gained the experience that is considered essential as an office manager. 

In her new role, Kim will support all departments to ensure Blueprint Interiors can deliver a quality service to clients.

She will ensure the offices are running effectively on a day-to-day basis and will be involved in a range of activities, from monitoring health and safety and compliance to assisting with HR and procurement.

Kim said: "I have a real passion for interior design and refurbishing buildings, so I was excited about the opportunity to learn more about the industry whilst also being of practical help as office manager."

The company says the appointment follows a successful period, during which it has been appointed on projects for more high profile clients including The Melton Building Society, MIRA and Corteva Agriscience in Oxfordshire. 

Rachel Biddles, Operations Director added: "We have a healthy pipeline of new projects already secured for 2023 and we felt the need to strengthen the administration and support team was essential."
