BRAND specialist 10 Associates has appointed James Bornshin to the Bradley-based team.

Mr Bornshin (pictured) joins the company after gaining a first-class honours degree in communication design from Huddersfield University.

Mr Bornshin, who specialises in print work, was offered the role after impressing creative director Jill Peel and head of design Michael Freemantle with his portfolio of degree work and freelance projects.

Away from the studio, his interests include football and music, while his current claim to fame is shaking hands with Huddersfield University chancellor Patrick Stewart at his graduation ceremony!
