A Mirfield brand and design consultancy has expanded its senior team with two new staff.

Jon Banks and Peter Chana have joined 10 Associates as senior designer and senior creative artworker respectively.

They come on board as the company, which works with brands such as online appliance retailer AO.Com, Skipton FS and Welcome To Yorkshire, launches “The Playground”, an innovative office space at its Watermill site, which has been designed as an area to encourage the team and clients to discuss creative ideas in a relaxed environment.

Mr Banks, who graduated with BA Hons in graphic arts and design from Leeds Metropolitan University, previously worked in the print industry. He said: “Working in print has given me a good eye for detail and I look forward to bringing that and my design background to 10 Associates.”

Mr Chana, a graduate of Leeds College of Art and Design, has a background in typography and artwork and more than 20 years experience at many of the leading creative agencies in the North of England. He said: “I’m delighted to be joining a growing design consultancy.”
