New recruit for Design House

Design House is believed to have appointed Nettec joint creative director Tim Webb-Jenkins as creative director for corporate services.

He will sit on the Design House board, replacing Marcus Haslam who left last month to go freelance (DW 23 March).

Webb-Jenkins was on paternity leave and unavailable for comment as Design Week went to press. But he is understood to have resigned from Nettec this week and to be contracted to serve three months’ notice.

Design House could not confirm or deny the appointment. Nettec creative managing director Graham Brown dismisses the reports as “market speculation”.
