Estilo Interiors Strengthens Team With Five New Hires

Leading commercial fit-out and refurbishment company, Estilo Interiors, is further fuelling its growth with the appointment of five new hires across the business. Headquartered in Birmingham, the organisation – which announced its most successful financial year to date back in March – continues to build its footprint across the region and further afield.

These new hires bring a wealth of experience and expertise, further enhancing Estilo Interiors’ capabilities in both its creative and delivery teams. In the midst of a stellar year, marked by a flurry of new instructions, the quintet sees the business grow by 20%.

Joining the head office team as an Electrical Contracts Manager, Richard Stokes boasts over 20 years’ experience in M&E fit-out, previously working as on-site lead for Estilo Interiors. Also joining the team includes, Stephen Jones, who brings 18 years’ experience within the electrical wholesale industry, as Procurement Manager & Electrical Estimator. Along with his procurement management, Stephen will streamline Estilo Interiors’ supply chain to improve the profitability of the division and provide detailed cost estimations to clients.

Welcoming Estilo Interior’s first-ever Quantity Surveyor (QS), Paul Norris, joins the growing team with over 12 years’ experience as a QS and over 18 years in the construction industry. Working on a range of projects during his time in the industry, notable projects Paul has overseen include fit-out projects at the Jaguar Land Rover facility at Euro Park Rugby to multi-million-pound schemes in the Midlands in the Drylining sector.

Supporting Paul to achieve a MRICS certification and become a qualified Chartered Quantity Surveyor, Paul commented:

“I am thrilled to be re-entering the fit-out sector and honoured to join the esteemed team at Estilo Interiors. As their first Quantity Surveyor, my foremost responsibility will involve collaborating closely with the proficient Estimating and Contracts teams. Together, we will ensure that each project we undertake is not only a resounding commercial success but also brings immense satisfaction to our valued clients.

“My journey with Estilo Interiors will be marked by a personal commitment to excellence. I have set my sights on achieving MCIOB accreditation through my Professional Review, a significant milestone that I am determined to accomplish by the end of 2023. Beyond that, I envision pursuing MRICS accreditation, solidifying my position as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, a testament to my unwavering pursuit of excellence in this field.”

In addition to the delivery team, Estilo Interiors has also welcomed two recruits to its brand-new marketing function: Jack Soars and Ted Hawkswood, who have been appointed Marketing Manager and Digital Content Manager, respectively.

Jack leverages his expertise as the former Group Marketing Manager at property consultants Centrick and Regional Marketing Manager for Lomond Group, to expand and develop Estilo Interiors’ marketing strategies and elevate the company’s reputation as a respected and award-winning design and fit-out business. Ted brings his experience as a digital content creator for Centrick to enhance the organisation’s social presence through videography and photography, attracting new clients by showcasing completed projects.

Commenting on the recent appointments, Andrew Moore, Founder and CEO of Estilo Interiors, said:

“It’s been an incredible period of growth for the business, and I’m delighted to be going into the latter part of the year with five fantastic new hires. Their expertise and dedication will undoubtedly further strengthen our position as a leading turnkey interior fit-out contractor.

We continue to excel in delivering innovative workplace solutions for commercial tenants, landlords, and developers across the UK. The team remains paramount to this: their commitment to exceptional design, high-quality craftsmanship, and client satisfaction remains unwavering as they strive to expand our reach and achieve new heights in the industry.“

Estilo Interiors is celebrating a period of unprecedented growth, having announced record revenue of nearly £30 million earlier this year, improving on the previous year’s turnover despite challenging business conditions. This also came as the business celebrated its 20th anniversary. Recent projects include the Cat A fit-out of Lombard House in Birmingham City Centre, the Cat B fit-out of MAPP’s London Headquarters and the refurbishment of Savills offices in Reading.
