Doorcerts’ commercial manager Sarah Armson said: “We’re building something special here at Doorcerts and we need great people to help us reach our goals.
“Because we’re working hard on a number of projects, we needed people to join the team and be key players in what we are doing.
“Iona brings with her substantial expertise in finance and data, while Craig has a wealth of experience in producing eye-catching marketing materials.”
She added: “It really is an exciting time here at Doorcerts and we look forward to what the future holds.”

Two apprentices have joined Derby-based digital marketing firm JDR Group.
Sophie Teece and Amelia Slater have been appointed by the Pride Park firm as digital marketing assistants, spending their working days on tasks including generating blog content, undertaking keyword research and putting in place SEO techniques.
Teece said: “I’m enjoying myself and JDR Group are really helping me to learn the skills and the knowledge while I go. I’m really happy to be here and to feel part of the business while developing further.”
Slater added: “I’ve always been interested in marketing, but I knew I didn’t want to go to university because I wanted to learn on the job.
“It’s a very different working environment to what I’m used to. I’m learning how to be professional in the way I operate, look and speak, alongside everything else, which is something I wouldn’t have experienced at university.”
The pair are now engaged on a 15-month apprenticeship and are being mentored by Charlotte Thornton, who is a website project co-ordinator and production team leader at the firm.
