Multi-disciplinary architecture and engineering practices, BE Design has expanded its workforce with seven new appointments.

The technical team has been boosted with a number of new additions, including Adam Hancocks, who brings 12 years' experience to his new role as principal engineer.

Adam will work on the development of Grantham Designer Outlet Village and various international projects.

He said: "Having worked in the industry in the East Midlands since graduating, I'm really pleased to be staying in the region and joining the BE Design family. I'm looking forward to getting to know my clients, understanding their projects and applying my technical skills to solve problems and deliver high-quality buildings with a variety of end uses.


"One thing that really drew me to the company was the friendly environment and focus on training and development, and I'm looking forward to furthering not only my own development, but that of other team members through mentoring."

Other new starts include Tim Wallis, senior engineering BIM technician; Sam Johnson, engineering BIM technician; Sophie Hayes and Will Turner, junior BIM technicians; Su Ford, administration assistant, and Katie Barnes as an architectural placement student from Newcastle University.

Stephen Oakden, director at BE Design added: "At BE Design, we know that the people in our practice are the key to our success as a business. With their passion, and the support of our development programmes, we work together as a close-knit team to ensure that our clients receive service that exceeds their expectations every time.

"We recently announced a raft of internal promotions, and we're thrilled to be following that with this boost of new staff throughout the technical and support teams. Myself and the wider team look forward to working alongside this talented influx of new staff and wish them all the best in their new roles."

The new additions come after BE Design celebrated its fifth anniversary this year.
