Fitout firm expands team following string of project wins
Workplace design and build company Interaction has expanded its team with six new appointments following a string of project wins.
The Bath firm, which recently moved to new state-of-the-art offices in the city, has appointed construction industry specialist Ollie Caunt as contracts director.
Ollie has more than 10 years’ experience working in construction and project management, and joins Interaction from construction company Willmott Dixon, where he was operations manager.
He said: “I’m very excited to be joining such a dynamic and creative company with a strong workplace culture. Interaction’s team-based ethos and can-do approach to challenges is hugely inspiring to me.”
Also joining Interaction as new project lead is Tyler Doak who will help to ensure that design projects are delivered perfectly, from start to finish. Tyler is returning to his former role at Interaction having previously worked for the firm between 2019 and 2020.
Meanwhile, Siouxzee Cummings joins Interaction as executive assistant to managing director Dieter Wood and commercial director Gary Duguid.
This is a new role for the firm and will ensure Dieter and Gary have more time to share with staff, clients, and key partners.
Interaction also welcomes three new graduates – Katherine Webb, Walid Nader and Tommaso Parenti – who join the firm’s Project Academy as project administrators.
The new appointments takes the firm’s total headcount to 56 and follows Interaction’s move to its new HQ called The Quarter. The firm has transformed the Grade II listed building in Edgar Mews, Bath, into a flexible new workspace, creating one of the largest new office developments in the area.
The move follows a record year for Interaction and a string of major design project wins. They include the design and fit-out of Osborne Clarke’s flagship workplace in Bristol’s Halo building, one of the UK’s greenest office developments.
Dieter Wood said: “We’re delighted to welcome so many new faces – and one not so new – to the team.
“They join us at a busy time for the firm as we embark on an exciting new year with a pipeline full of fantastic new design projects. We wish them all every success in their new roles.”
