A GROWING Crossflatts company has made another new appointment.

Adventure engineering firm Hangfast has recruited acclaimed designer Matthew Stafford as creative lead.

He has more than two decades’ experience in installation design and construction, latterly working with JB Display in Bingley.

For over 16 years he was a freelance designer specialising in large-scale installations for companies including Marks & Spencer.

“Hangfast is a really exciting company and as a creative I’m looking forward to bringing a new perspective to the existing design process – and assisting customers in achieving truly bespoke adventure installations that meet their needs,” said Mr Stafford.

The appointment comes as the company, based at the Castlefields Industrial Estate, prepares to complete construction of Europe’s first-ever flight tower at the Salt Ayre Leisure Centre in Lancaster.
