Peter Hoyland

Peter is our Managing Director, a Chartered Engineer and a graduate of Oxford University.  He began his career as a product developer for Thorn EMI and later for FKI plc.  He was an early adopter of Design for Manufacture & Assembly methods as he became responsible for both mechanical design and manufacturing engineering.

“DFMA was gaining popularity but phase gates had still not been recognised as the obvious best practice for programme management”.

He moved into consultancy specifically to establish and implement better approaches to new product development, and has spent the past few years working with over 15 companies, from every possible sector, to do this.

In 1999, after ten years working for major consultancy companies, Peter became a founder of Bubble, a management consultancy focused on improving new product development processes.
