Irishman and Galway native, Cathal Loughnane has been appointed as Manager of the new Peugeot Design Laboratory in Paris. Cathal will be reporting to the Director of Style at Peugeot’s design centre, Gilles Vidal. This new design studio has been created to offer a team of design specialists to external clients from various sectors outside the automotive world.
