This is the podcast where we spotlight the trailblazers behind the UK’s most exciting Challenger Brands.
This week, we’re talking to Richard Hilton, co-founder and CEO of Fairgame – the competitive socialising sensation that’s taking London by storm. Richard isn’t just an operator; he’s a brand mastermind. His journey began on Madison Avenue, crafting advertising campaigns with top agencies in New York, before returning to the UK to establish the game-changing gym brand Gymbox (which he sold in 2016 – yep, we helped with that ).
But Richard’s talents aren’t limited to brand building. He’s a seasoned dealmaker, raising capital, navigating debt, mezzanine and equity financing; even buying out his investors – twice! In this episode, we dig deep into his story, chatting about everything from brand marketing and entrepreneurship to fundraising and his leap from school leaver to CEO of high-octane, private equity backed, brand led businesses.
