Job role
We are a creative design company with unified project delivery expertise. We always begin every project by listening – understanding client hopes, ambitions and values. From here, we design, cost and build: challenging convention to unleash innovation and fresh new thinking.
A furniture manager position is needed initially to cover for maternity leave but day two to help amalgamate the wider group offer.
