CAD supplier Virtual Worlds has expanded its Design Hub with the addition of Lianne Hornby to the newly-created role of design executive.

In this role, she will use her passion and knowledge of interior design to assist with projects relating to the Design Hub’s services.

Launched earlier this year, the Design Hub offers a bathroom and kitchen design service for retail showrooms who are in need of temporary support to cover holiday, illness or plug an immediate skills gap.

Having been working with Logicom for six years, Hornby is already familiar with the Virtual Worlds software, working first as customer service support before becoming quality assurer.

She will use this experience, along with her involvement in creating marketing images and training for the past two years, in her new role.

Working under the guidance of head designer Lauren Sutton, Hornby will assist with a range of projects including a new lead generation campaign to drive consumers into showrooms, collating their feedback and analytics on their 4D experience.

Laura Sutton commented: “It is our mission to build a team of experienced and passionate designers to better support our retail network.

“Each design created is intended to be inspirational and is quality-approved by myself to ensure the best chance for the retailer to convert their opportunities into sales.”

Commenting on her new role, Lianne Hornby added: “Design is always something I have been passionate about since I started at Virtual Worlds and I am looking forward to using my new qualifications in interior design.

“I’m excited to be given the opportunity to progress and help within a newly-formed area of the business, helping showrooms and manufacturers with their designs.”
