5or6 meet the Prime Minister!

During his election campaign Prime Minister Gordon Brown took some time to speak with 5or6 design consultancy Managing Director Peter Simmons whilst visiting Loughborough.

'Gordon was visiting to launch the Labour party's Sport Manifesto and it was great that he had time to speak.' Simmons added.

Voters go to the ballot boxes on Thursday to decide the new governing party, although a hung parliament looks the most likely outcome considering recent polls.

Is there a doctor in the building?

Today 5or6 managing director Peter Simmons has handed in his PhD titled 'An exploration of the effectiveness of sustainable design websites in influencing design decision making'. Peter has been working on his PhD for the last 4 years and has been working at 5or6 for the past year and a half at the same time.

Pete's graduation will be in the summer at Loughborough University when he will be officially classed a doctor in design.
