A Leicestershire Live award winner has appointed a non-executive director to its team.
Blueprint Interiors, who are workplace interior fit-out specialist, have announced that business consultant Ian Guyler will be joining them.

In his non-exec role with Ashby-based Blueprint he will help the management team - which includes founder and CEO Rob Day, operations director Rachel Biddles and creative director Chloe Sproston - develop and implement a long-term strategy to grow the business profitably beyond its £5m annual turnover.
Rachel Biddles said: "As a management team we welcome Ian’s invaluable insight and guidance as to how we can focus on our core markets and create a business that is both profitable and with a good sense of corporate social responsibility.
"Workplace consultancy and employee well being are at the core of our service proposition and Ian will help us to further embed this into our business and communicate the benefits of this USP to our existing and prospective clients.”
Blueprint Interiors won this year's Innovation in Construction category at the Leicestershire Live Innovation Awards 2019, and was singled out for its focus on employee wellbeing.

In 2018, the company relocated to Ivanhoe Business Park in Ashby, and invested over £750,000 to create "WorkLife Central" as a living example of how a workspace can be transformed from an institutional office space into a healthier environment that inspires and motivates staff, reduces absence, improves staff retention and helps firms achieve their financial and wellbeing objectives.
The firm says that this has been the catalyst in increasing revenue from £2.7 million to £3.9 million, and helping it to attract and retain the best staff and "subsequently provide a world class service to clients".
Ian said: "I am delighted that Blueprint Interiors has chosen to appoint me to advise them on their next phase of growth and to help shape the roles each Director will focus on as the long-term strategy unfolds. The business has been incredibly successful and has a solid foundation.
"I am looking forward to helping them develop the structures and processes that will support their ambitions.”
