Design consultancy aiming high with appointments
A recent £750,000 investment into Sheffield-based product design consultancy, AME Group, has enabled the design side of the business to make two key appointments.
Aaron Seager, previous sales manager of Pudsey-based health communication experts, Luto, joins AME Group as commercial manager and David Pass as industrial designer.
Aaron’s sales and communications experience will play a pivotal role in presenting the team’s diverse skill set to the UK’s blue-chip companies, SMEs and to the ever-growing startup community.
David has over 11 years of design experience and six years as a visiting lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, where he passed on vital STEM skills to future generations.
AME Group’s design manager, Tim Stern, said: “Both Aaron and David’s personalities and temperaments fit into our company culture perfectly. Their skills not only compliment what AME already has in place but empower us to take our offering to the next level.”
