Established brand and digital agency, Blumin, has announced two new appointments as the business experiences post-pandemic growth.
Junior Developer, Rick Muscroft, further enhances the tech and software side of the business, with a long-served background in IT and website development. Whilst Designer, Anthony Lofthouse strengthens the team with his vast experience in branding, print management, packaging design and strategic communications.
Andy Stones, Founder & Technical Director, said:
"I am delighted to welcome Anthony and Rick – their skills, knowledge and expertise complement those of the existing Blumin team, and with a number of new clients and projects instructed this year already, they join us at an incredibly exciting time.”
Celebrating 15 years in business this month, Blumin recently announced a move to new premises for their northern studio at Alderley Park in Macclesfield – home to over 60 established and 150 start-up companies in science and technology.
John Smith, Founder and Creative Director comments:
“After an uncertain few months at the start of the pandemic, with some sectors being more affected than others, we have witnessed a real shift change in businesses investing in marketing and tech to drive growth – and this notably accelerated last year. As a result, we have not only widened our services to our existing customers but have expanded our portfolio of clients over the last year across a number of key sectors.
We have cultivated a team of highly skilled, passionate creatives who work with some incredible businesses, and the growth of our team will help us to effectively service clients who are looking to scale their own businesses this year and beyond.”
