The Engine Room hires former intern as senior designer
BRAND CONSULTANCY The Engine Room has appointed Nathan Bolton as the team’s new senior designer.
Mr Bolton, who first worked for the business as an intern in 2013, graduated with a graphic design degree in 2014.
He undertook a number of work placements whilst studying at what was then the Leeds College of Art. The Engine Room, which was based in The Media Centre at the time, was so impressed with his talents that they offered him a permanent position.
Following 18 months in the designer role, he left to further his career in non-agency positions, working at both the University of Leeds and Huddersfield-headquartered Mamas & Papas. Fast forward to the winter of 2018 and he has gone full circle, returning to the place where his career began.
Commenting on his new role, the 26-year-old said: “I was always impressed with The Engine Room’s strategic approach to brand, and the collaborative exercises they carry out with clients to get to the heart of their purpose and vision. I learned a lot when I worked with the team the first time around, and I’m excited about the chance to supercharge my knowledge even further.
“I’ve always enjoyed the culture here too, so it’s a great time to come back on board, now that we’re in our vibrant new workspace in Mirfield. It almost doesn’t feel like an office.”
Mr Bolton’s appointment coincides with The Engine Room’s move to the newly-converted York Mills.
