This month we’re shining the spotlight on two members of our busy manufacturing team – Ryan Evans, our Manufacturing Manager, and Abi Powell, our Production Planner and Administrator. With over seven years at Newmor, Ryan brings a wealth of experience to managing the day-to-day workings of the factory. Abi, who joined us just three months ago, has already made a strong impression with her attention to detail and love of a good spreadsheet!
Introducing Our New Marine Collection: IMO-Certified Designs for the Cruise, Yacht, and Ferry Sectors
We’re proud to announce the launch of our new Marine Collection — a carefully curated range of 78 IMO-certified wallcoverings and architectural films, developed specifically for cruise ships, yachts, and ferry interiors. This is one of the most comprehensive marine-specific wallcovering ranges currently available, designed to meet the unique challenges of high-performance marine environments without compromising on aesthetics.
This month in our Meet the Team series, we’re introducing Mel Wetheridge, our UK Sales Manager. With over 25 years of experience in specification sales, Mel joined Newmor in May 2024, bringing a wealth of knowledge from the commercial interiors world. She leads our UK field sales team and loves the variety her role brings every day. We sat down with Mel to chat about her role, and her life outside of Newmor. Let’s get to know Mel a little bit better!
For 2025 Newmor has highlighted five distinct trends for the commercial interiors industry. These trends share common threads of timeless design, personalisation, and a deep sense of place, offering designers fresh approaches to craft, and inviting and memorable commercial environments.
New Wallcovering Designs for November 2024 – Panthera, Java, Shagreen & Folia
Our November launch is inspired by the Sugar and Spice trend, which draws on rich global cultures. This trend promotes a grounding aesthetic and exudes warmth and creativity. With influences ranging from Moroccan souks to Balinese jungles, this collection ignites intrigue and optimism infused with a touch of exotica. A celebration of animal print, tropical foliage and rustic textures, the designs combine natural elements with metallic accents to create an elevated tactile effect. Vibrant, fiery tones like oxblood, gold and amber, balanced with the deep classic hues of bitter chocolate and umber create a multi-faceted, elegantly opulent collection.
