Management team expands at Blueprint Interiors
A former director of Paragon Interiors has joined Ashby-based Blueprint Interiors as client services director.
Mike McKeown will join Rob Day, Chloe Sproston and Rachel Biddles on the management team.
McKeown left Paragon in 2017, before the firm hit trouble and eventually entered administration in March 2019. More recently he has been working in London as a Project Director for a leading interior design and build business.
Blueprint Interiors founder and CEO Rob Day said, “Even before the pandemic hit, we’d set out to prove that office design comprising rows and rows of desks was an outdated concept. We firmly believe that these environments are as toxic as those in which battery farmed chickens are kept.
“There is a growing realisation that people can work more effectively and are far happier, healthier and more productive when given the choice to work from home with options to visit agile office spaces when they need to meet people or innovate and share ideas. The pandemic has merely accelerated this change in attitude and our theory that ‘free range’ employees are a greater asset because they are healthier and more motivated has become much more widely accepted.
“Having Mike on board will strengthen our reputation and ensure we are well placed to advise companies who want to transform their workplace to be fit for the future.”
McKeown said: “Blueprint Interiors is on a journey of phased transition to becoming the region’s leading consultative led office interior design company. The aims and goals of the business are very aligned to my personal style and approach to transforming office spaces.
“I am really looking forward to identifying new clients who could benefit from this consultative approach to creating people centric workplaces. My aim is to ensure that both existing and new clients receive an exemplary level of service in all the interactions they have with our business.”
