Ben Francis is the founder and ambitious entrepreneur behind leading UK fitness brand, Gymshark.

In addition to his full-time commitment to his studies, Ben juggled working as a pizza delivery man to fund his Gymshark venture. In August 2020, Gymshark became the first DTC brand in the UK to achieve Unicorn status (valuation over $1 billion) with no external capital funding.
