Before visiting a mate at University for a pint Ed worked on Saville Row cutting his teeth in the world of tailoring. It was over a beer at the infamous Royal Agriculturally University that Ed decided to sew a Union Jack to the back of his dress shirt for a 'Best Of British' themed party, this was the birth of Beaufort & Blake.

Like all entrepreneurs Ed travelled the length and breadth of the UK selling his new innovative (shirt) to people far and wide, well 50 people... - Sadly however the shirts were't manufactured correctly and kept falling apart, this teamed with the niche market of dress shirts meant it was a rocky start for Ed.

Having persevered and moved his operations from a pigsty (quite literally) to Battersea London, Ed's overheads exploded and a downturn in sales saw him and his business partner nearly say goodbye to Beaufort & Blake as they faced bankruptcy. It was quick thinking that got Ed out the other side. 

Beaufort & Blake expect to see a turnover of circa £3million in 2021 having onboarded 2 highly influential fashion investors and diversified their product offering. Hear it from the horse's mouth in this episode!
