Workplace consultants and interior fit-out specialists Blueprint Interiors has announced the appointment of Caitlin Houlbrook as a Workplace Designer.

Caitlin is relocating to the East Midlands having worked in similar roles for leading London based office designers. She is also a WELL Accredited Professional (WELL AP) and holds a BA in Product Design from Nottingham Trent University.

WELL AP practitioners are recognised for their expertise in the WELL Building Standard (WELL) which aims to advance human health and wellness in buildings and communities around the world. Blueprint Interiors already has one WELL AP practitioner and their HQ in Ashby de la Zouch was the first business in the East Midlands to achieve the WELL Health-Safety rating.

Commenting on her new role Caitlin said.

"I am really pleased to be joining Blueprint Interiors as their values align closely with my own. As a WELL AP I am looking forward to using my skills in a business that supports and promotes these standards when creating workplaces that support healthy and happy employees."

Chloe Sproston, Blueprint Interiors, Creative Director added,

"Sustainability, mental wellbeing and emotional health are just as important to embrace when creating productive workplaces. The WELL Building Standard is at the heart of our process so that our designs help protect the planet and look after our people. With Caitlin as part of our team we will be able to encourage more businesses to embrace these design principles and incorporate sustainability into their workplace."

The WELL building standard is a programme designed to help businesses create health-first office spaces for their employees. By becoming WELL certified, organisations can profit from various financial and performance benefits, from reduced staff turnover and sick leave to increased productivity. This not only improves employees' health, but also the company's bottom line.

Blueprint Interiors recently supported East Midlands Chamber to achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating at its Chesterfield and Nottingham offices.
