Graduates boost interior design team
Interior design specialists Cocoon & Bauer have welcomed two Teesside University graduates to their expanding team.
Cocoon & Bauer, who provide interior design services for residential, commercial and hospitality sectors, have employed a further two interior designers to support its growing base of local and national clients.
Peter Turner, himself a Teesside University graduate, set up the business after spotting a gap in the market for commercial, hospitality and high-end interior residential design.
He decided the time was right to move back to the Tees valley after spending ten years at a Yorkshire based commercial interior design company.
Josh Ryan and Casey Hall have been brought in to assist in the delivery of interior design services for Cocoon & Bauer’s customers.
Casey brings a wealth of experience, previously working in the interior design department of architects and has a passion for residential interior design. Josh, who was recently shortlisted for an RSA design award, has broad interior design knowledge and along with design, strengthens the businesses 3D visualization services.
Peter added: "As a former interior architecture student, I worked closely with the University to identify current students and graduates that had the flair and potential to be assets to my team.
The interiors courses at Teesside University are some of the best in the country
“The interiors courses at Teesside University are some of the best in the country and produce some of the country’s most progressive and skilled designers. Both Josh and Casey both have different strengths that really complement the services Cocoon & Bauer offers.”
He added: “I decided on the Tees Valley as a location for my business because I not only saw a gap in the market for our interior design services, but also the area is the perfect base for us, having fantastic travel links to our clients nationwide. The Tees Valley is a hotbed of growth at the moment, with such vibrancy, ambition and positivity.”
The company has worked closely with some of the Tees Valley’s leading businesses as well as companies across the UK including Michelin starred restaurants. The expanded residential interior design service has also seen the company deliver projects at some of the most prestigious addresses in the area.
