We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sam Beard as Managing Director of Cubik Innovation. With effect from 1st April 2023, Sam Beard will take over as Managing Director of Cubik. Paul Mullen will take on the role of Founder & Technical Consultant and will continue to provide support and guidance to the Senior Management Team.

Paul founded Cubik Innovation in 2012, following the sale of his previous business Panik Technology. His aim was to be a consultant helping companies answer the difficult questions that arise when designing electronic products. By the end of the year, Paul had employed three members of staff and the business has taken an unplanned direction giving way to the success of Cubik as we know it today.

In January 2013, Sam joined the company on a 3-month contract to facilitate an office move. With his background in electronics, Paul tasked him with setting up Cubik’s first Production lab and recruiting a team of engineers. In the following years, Sam progressed from Production Engineer to Production Manager before being appointed as Operations Director in 2019.

Speaking about the new appointment, Paul said:

‍“Over the past decade, Sam has played a fundamental role in the growth of the business. From setting up our first production lab at the Bristol & Bath Science Park to joining me as a Co-Director. He has excelled at everything he has done. He knows the business and cares tremendously about the individuals within it, so I take this step knowing that Cubik and the team are in safe hands.”

As Managing Director, Sam will take on the business management and will lead the company with support from Paul and the Senior Management Team.

“This is an exciting opportunity for me, both personally and professionally, and I am honoured that Paul has entrusted me to take the reins. We’ve got a strong team, all pushing in the same direction, and I am committed to taking Cubik forward another ten years and beyond.”
