55. Pete Hoppins NPLH Studio

Pete Hoppins has a career path to pique your interest.
After studying fashion in Northumbria UK, he found himself in London designing for Box Fresh. Wanting a change, he shouted "I'm a designer, get me out of here" and headed to Amsterdam for a role at Nike.
They packed him off to Portland, Oregon where he'd eventually become Design Director for the sporting behemoth.
Then he sacked it all off to run a pub!
From creating designs for football's elite to creating community in his adopted home via the Toffee Club, Pete found fulfilment and balance whilst finding his way around a sink full of dishes.
Entrepreneurship has brought a different set of challenges than those of the corporate environment but Pete shares how the lessons learned in that career help him navigate running the Away Days brewing Co. as well as his design consultancy, Home and Away.
Enjoy!
