Bradford-based office design firm Richardsons has appointed Sophie Powell as a new graduate interior designer.
Thornton-based Sophie will be supporting the company on day-to-day activities including space planning, interior design, creating technical visuals and offering customers design solutions at varying budgets.
Sophie said: “I was looking for an interior design job and keen to stay local to Bradford, so I was thrilled to come across the opportunity at Richardsons.
“It’s such a positive workplace, I’ve already gained so much experience from the team around me and had the opportunity to visit client sites, create design plans and learn about all of the different pieces of the puzzle that come together when we’re creating a space that is entirely tailored to the client’s needs. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into more projects and supporting the team at all the different stages of design.
“Everyone here embodies going above and beyond whether that’s sourcing a niche fabric from a specific manufacturer or working historic or nostalgic artefacts into modern design spaces – it’s a really exciting company to have started my interior design career with.”
Richardsons has designed spaces for organisations including Bradford Grammar School, Professional Security, Slimming World and Emerald Group, working closely with clients to manage design, fit out and furniture supply, creating welcoming, practical areas.
MD Steven Richardson said: “Sophie has already proven to be a wonderful asset to the team, bringing with her impressive design skills and a real aptitude for creative design proposals and ideas.
“We’re always keen to hire local talent and having Sophie join the team at such a pivotal time in the industry has been an incredible asset, as we continue to grow and develop our offerings. The common workplace has changed in so many ways over the last few years that it’s imperative we innovate alongside it and growing the team is an integral part of that.”
