On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

CBE+, the Derbyshire-based precision manufacturing company, has promoted one of its shop floor machinists to the position of sales account manager.
Sam Sibert joined CBE+ five years ago and completed his apprenticeship with the firm before becoming fully qualified as a machinist.
Fabio Cosenza, business development manager at CBE+, said: “We recognised that Sam had that essential understanding of machining components and could combine this with good customer relationships, to become a key member of the sales team. This is a busy and exciting time for our business as we continue to develop new opportunities in the aerospace and automotive sectors and Sam will play a key role in this.”
Elsewhere, Northamptonshire-based design agency Poppy Design Studio has appointed a new marketing manager.
