Designer Contracts has announced two senior promotions along with a raft of new appointments and further promotions among its 300-strong workforce.
Lee Hassett, who joined Designer Contracts as a project executive seven years ago, has been promoted from divisional director to group operations director. Taking on the role of divisional director is Neil Lloyd.
Lee started with Designer Contracts as a project executive seven years ago having previously worked as a regional manager with Carpetright, an operations manager with Trent Carpets and a logistics manager with the Paul Eyre Group.

Neil, who was previously a self-employed floor layer, has worked with the company for nearly nine years, rising from customer service manager to area manager and regional manager for the South Midlands area. When not working, he enjoys fishing.
Said md Peter Kelsey: “These two senior appoints were part of a wider strategic review to align our ever-evolving workforce with the needs of the future. We’re delighted to recognise the hard work and achievements of Lee and Neil with much deserved promotions, along with a number of further promotions and new appointments across the company which all ensure Designer Contracts is in a stronger position than ever to take the company forward”.
