Trudy McGregor, who has joined as senior interior designer, has an architectural background and has relocated to Bath from London where she was most recently working at Kelly Hoppen. Lydia Mattock is an interior designer and project manager who has a wealth of experience of heritage projects in Bath and Bristol to her name. Sarah Latham, founder and creative director of Etons of Bath, says, “We’ve recently had a huge increase in enquiries and projects for large Georgian houses in Bath and Clifton.
