Our son
Creative Director
I'm responsible for all interior design aspects of the business. I have a real passion for colour and making as much mess as possible in the shortest amount of time. We all love having fun and having a great work-life balance including the daily races together on our scooters.
Robin
Heath and Wellbeing coordinator
This little guy is in charge of security, health and wellbeing. With his super cute looks, he can get everyone involved in our daily walks! Although he is very opinionated and a master sock thief, he is punctual and always well dressed in the office!
Nathaniel
Director
I have 20 years of environmental and architectural experience and enjoy helping people achieve their goals. I have acquired the skill set and accreditation that has exposed me to multiple disciplines which has enriched my knowledge base immensely. I can deliver multiple services and where possible this enables me to encompass other elements of my work to help reduce overall projects costs removing the need for the requirement of numerous third-party services. I have been privileged enough to have had the freedom to work on a wide variety of projects including domestic extensions, full architectural house designs and larger projects international projects. I value honesty with my client base and will always be available at the end of the phone/email to answer any questions or offer guidance to help support your project.
Yvie
Company Secretary
I have a real passion for sustainable living. At Hoyle Dean I work behind the scenes to ensure the business cogs are well oiled, with plenty of cups of coffee. Using my vast and diverse business experience as a Business analyst/Service Designer, I help support in achieving the company and client’s goals.
In my spare time, you can always find me researching or implementing a more sustainable way of living, whether that’s making homemade cleaning products or re-using household items in momentous craft projects with our son. I enjoy sewing, crochet and the occasional obstacle race when energy levels and time permit (all part of the apocalypse training!)
