On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
A Nottingham advanced materials firm has appointed three new members of staff after embarking on a project designed to help the fight against climate change.
Promethean Particles, based in Midland Way, made the appointments in the wake of launching Project REMBRANDT, which aims to scale up the production of a class of advanced materials known as MOFs.
The new hires—Andreas Must, Chitra Goel, and Aaron Taylor—join the company to support its pioneering work in areas such as carbon capture, decarbonisation, and advanced materials production.
Andreas Must, joins the team as a manufacturing engineer straight from university, bringing a fresh perspective and eagerness to learn.
Chitra Goel, who previously worked on a carbon capture project at the University of Swansea, has been appointed as a senior application engineer.
Aaron Taylor brings six years of experience in the chemical industry to his new role as a process development engineer. A strong advocate for sustainability, Aaron sees Promethean Particles as a natural fit for his values and expertise.
James Stephenson, chief executive officer at Promethean Particles, said: “Their appointments will help us accelerate our mission to unleash the power of MOFs by more effectively leveraging the numerous advantages of our proprietary manufacturing technology, helping our customers achieve a more energy-efficient carbon capture solution.”
IDT, the fast-growing managed service provider, has expanded again after hiring two new apprentices.
Joining the firm’s Ilkeston headquarters are Ollie Back – IDT’s first female IT support engineer apprentice – and Isaac Steele, who has also joined as an IT support engineer apprentice.
Both will now work towards completing their apprenticeships with IDT.

What drew me to IDT was their values especially to go above and beyond the above and beyond and the IT company that behaves nothing like an IT company, it shows why and how IDT have such a unique relationship with their customers.”
“I have learnt so much already, especially the unique values of IDT and how the team strives to achieve them, from my first site visit you can see how much IDT values its customers and how much the customers value IDT. I am looking forward to delivering these values and making sure we continue to deliver the service that has got IDT the reputation it deserves.”
Luke Draper, managing director at IDT, said: “Both Ollie and Isaac have hit the ground running and with Ollie being our 1st female support engineer it’s great news. Our commitment to investing in young talent has paid off time and time again for our clients and I look forward to watching Isaac and Ollie progress in their careers with us.”
