Joe Benn. Founder, advisor, connector, AND FMCG fanatic. He's had over a decade of experience working with fast growth disruptive businesses, including co-founding UGLY drinks back in 2015. UGLY was a truly original challenger brand that won fame and fortune across both the UK and in the US, rebranding sparkling water as the soda drink of choice, before others followed suit.

In 2020, Joe stepped away from the company, and has since gone on to advise a number of FMCG brands like allplants, Tenzing, Graze in the UK culminating in him recently launching Grwth Club, a platform designed to match startups with the right agencies and investors. Along with co-founder Jake Higgins, they utilise their extensive network and experience to match businesses with the best possible partners for your brand.

In this episode we'll talk about Joe's experience in the FMCG industry (past and present), where the market is heading for brands in this space and the need for his latest venture, Grwth Club (Grwth without the O).
