The Acorn Group, which Concept Staffing is part of, has appointed in-house graphic designer Rich Chitty, 26 from Riverside in Cardiff, to join their head office in Newport.

Having worked in the design industry for over five years, Rich has all the attributes required for the demanding graphic designer role.   He is responsible for the Group’s design and brand communications, including that of Acorn, Concept Staffing and Exxell.

Rich said: “I’ve got some good ideas about what I’d like to achieve for the Group. I want to develop some fresh and innovative ideas to continue to promote the brands.”
