Newmor Collaborate with Birmingham City University
At Newmor Wallcoverings, we are incredibly proud to have been a part of a project with Birmingham City University’s Interior Architecture and Design BA course. This partnership allowed us to support BCU’S students in reimagining Oaklands Young People’s Centre, a vital institution in Birmingham and its surrounding areas that provides a safe space for young people.
In our newest instalment in our Meet The Team series, we get to know duo John and Emily, who work in our labs at Newmor. John has been a part of the Newmor family for 30 years, while our Polymer and Materials technician Emily joined the team in late 2022. We sat down with this unlikely pair to get to talk about their work at Newmor, and what they’re learning from each other.
