Double hire for architecture consultancy

Architecture and construction consultancy YMD Boon has made two new hires.

Annette Appleton and Alvaro Munoz have joined the firm at its Derby office as office manager and architectural assistant, respectively.

Appleston brings with her 12 years of experience in the education sector, where she most recently worked as a school business manager.

In her new role as office manager, she will be responsible for a variety of office tasks to ensure the smooth running of the office on a day-to-day basis, utilising her previous experience of managing a busy school office.

She said: “I was drawn to YMD Boon’s vision for the future and the work it does in the education sector and I plan to bring my own knowledge, skills and experience of this sector to this exciting new role. With so many interesting projects in the pipeline, it’s a great time to be joining the team. I am excited to be progressing my career in this industry with the full support of the YMD Boon team.”

Munoz joins YMD Boon as an architectural assistant and technician as he works towards becoming a fully qualified architect and studies for his RIBA Part 3 qualification.

In his new role, he will assist the YMD Boon team on various projects mainly in the education sector across the Midlands.

He said: “It is a privilege to learn from the YMD Boon team as I study to become fully qualified, especially in regards to the variety of projects and hands on experience I’m getting in such a collaborative working environment. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and for the support that YMD Boon are giving me.”
