Galway man, Cathal Loughnane, has been appointed manager of the new Peugeot Design Laboratory in Paris.
Loughnane, 34, qualified as an engineer at the Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street, before joining PSA Peugeot Citroen in 1999, initially as an intern after winning a design competition for Irish design students, organised by Irish company, Gowan Group.
He then spent 12 years working on vehicle interior design and on the design of concept cars at the company’s creative centre, before being approached by Gilles Vidal to head up the new venture.
