RAW Product Development was founded by Rob Weatherly, an industry leader with a first-class degree in Industrial Design from Loughborough University. Rob spent 14 years as Director of Innovation at ghd, leading the development of advanced hair and beauty technologies. His background also includes senior roles at Glen Dimplex group (thermal systems, ventilation, water heating and heat recovery) and Herman Miller (furniture and ergonomic design).
