CURIO BY HILTON / PLACEMENT YEAR AT NEWMAN GAUGE

During my university placement year, I had the opportunity to work for Newman Gauge, a company based in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Whilst at Newman Gauge the main project which I was involved with was the renovation and re-branding of an existing Hilton Hotel based in Kensington. This was part of the new Curio Collection, which offers bespoke interiors tailored to suit their unique locations, in this case a Victorian period mansion.

While assisting on the Hilton project I attended site meetings, which coordinated all parties involved in the project from design through to construction teams. This allowed me to gain a more in depth understanding of the design process from concept through to execution. My main role while on the Hilton project was to support client queries, remotely communicate with the construction team, and work on drawings to be issued to those on site. By taking on this role I believe I have gained a good sense of responsibility while gaining knowledge of the many roles involved in larger projects.
