Ashby-based workplace consultants and office interior fit-out specialist Blueprint Interiors has announced a Director promotion and the appointment of a new Business Development Manager.

Andy Sawyer, who was previously Contracts Manager has been promoted to Project Director and Ben Dawson joins as a Business Development Manager.

With over 25 years' experience within the fit-out sector, Andy joined the Ivanhoe Business Park company in 2016 and will join the management board. He has previously worked with some of the leading global leisure and retail brands on demanding and high profile commercial fit-out projects.

Commenting on his promotion, Andy said: "I am delighted that my loyalty and hard work has been rewarded with a promotion and I am looking forward to working with the management team to improve processes and nurture the skills of the fantastic team we have at here at Blueprint Interiors.

"The size of contracts we have been trusted to complete over recent years are testament to our commitment to helping employers create cultures centred around workplace well-being and designed to be used by their best asset – their people."

Ben, who lives in Leicestershire, has over 20 years' experience in the industry and studied architecture at De Montfort University. He began his career as an interior designer but gravitated towards business development in order to build on his passion for developing relationships and delivering tailored solutions.

Commenting on his new role, Ben said: "I'm looking forward to promoting the company to my extensive network of contacts within the architectural and commercial property sectors as well wider business community. I was hugely impressed with the quality of case studies on the website and the glowing testimonials from some impressive clients."

Operations Director Rachel Biddles added: "We are enjoying an extensive period of growth as businesses realise they need advice from workplace consultants to discover how to create inspiring places where people are equipped with the tools to adapt to hybrid work styles. Andy joining the board will strengthen the management team and enable us to further improve contract processes and Ben's expertise in business development will help us to continue winning work from the top employers in the Midlands."
