A new associate has announced his arrival at architectural
interior design practice Monteith Scott by clinching a major new
project in the Far East.
Brand integration specialist Sean Espinasse spent his first day
with the company not at its Birmingham offices - but on board a
flight to Taiwan to meet the team behind an exciting 16-storey
office scheme.
The 35-year-old design consultant, from Ambergate, Derbyshire,
joins award-winning Monteith Scott's WORK division with an
impressive pedigree.
Until recently he was head of design at Paragon Interiors Group,
Nottingham, where he worked with leading brands including Adidas,
Experian and Specsavers.
Welcoming him to the company, managing director Alison Monteith
said: "Sean brings some great qualities to the team here at
Monteith Scott. He is young and enthusiastic as well as being
extremely talented.
"He has been leading a design team for a fit-out company for the
last five years and brings a very focused strategic and
brand-orientated approach and for us what was particularly
attractive is that he is very hungry for success."
Monteith Scott WORK delivers interior design solutions in the
industrial, education and office sectors. It is led by managing
director Alison Monteith, design director Derek Matthews and
technical director John Millington. The company is based in
Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, the city's creative hub.
Sean said: "What attracted me to Monteith Scott was that, when I
did my research on them, there was a very consistent message out
there in the market that they had design integrity and believed in
the ethos of designing the best you possibly can for your
client.
"Everybody I spoke to said that Monteith Scott stick to their
guns on design - they know what their clients want and they do not
deviate from the design they present. They are very smart in the
design solutions they produce."
He added: "Flying to the Far East was perhaps an unusual start
to my first day at the company. We can't say too much at this stage
but it is a fantastic project with a global brand and it represents
a real coup for Monteith Scott."
Monteith Scott WORK recently clinched a major regional award for
its work at the British Horse Society's impressive new
headquarters. The company was commissioned to design internal
layouts, lighting, finishes and furniture for the charity's office
development at Abbey Park in Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
The project won the British Council for Offices Midlands and
East Anglia regional award in the 'Projects Up To 2000 sq metres'
category and will now compete against other regional winners for
the national title.
