How I Grew My Brand: The Piper Podcast Season 2: Richard Hilton speaks to Mary Nightingale about the challenges of stepping away from his fitness chain brand Gymbox.  In a wide-ranging interview, he describes the power of brand messaging, the importance of maintaining culture during fast growth and explains how ‘paranoia can be healthy’.

Interviewed by Journalist and ITV News Presenter, Mary Nightingale, How I Grew My Brand is a series of one-on-one podcast interviews with inspiring, high-profile British founders and brand leaders.

From Pitcher & Piano to Monica Vinader, Piper has been helping to build and support brands for nearly 40 years. In each interview we dig into ‘7, 17, 70’, the three critical stages Piper believes businesses will encounter, whether that be number of employees, sales or sites. These moments are where changes and challenges can be overcome on the path to becoming a brand legend, a business with purpose and vision that makes people’s lives healthier, happier and more fulfilling, while helping them minimise their impact on the environment.
