Cue the Jaws music as Gymshark founder and CEO Ben Francis is moving up in the world as Britain’s youngest billionaire looks to expand his sportswear empire in 2023.
Off the back of last week where the 30-year-old received an MBE from Prince William recognising his work in the business sector, Ben has announced his plans to grow Gymshark globally with roughly 100 new jobs being created.
The Gymshark empire has come a long way since Ben dropped out of Aston University over a decade ago to establish the sportswear company in his parent’s garage in Birmingham with his friend Lewis Morgan while working as a Pizza Hut delivery driver to cover his bills.
However, Ben will no longer need to be concerned about where his next pay check comes from as Gymshark has generated an impressive fortune of $1.2 billion for the young CEO.
While his business baby is blossoming, PeopleWorld takes a look at the family behind Ben Francis including his wife Robin who he married in Chipping Norton in 2021, and his two six-month old children:
Who is Robin Gallant?
Just as Gymshark looks to expand across parts of North America, Ben might keep one eye on their neighbouring country Canada where his wife influencer Robin Gallant was born and where they first met one another at a fitness expo in Toronto.
Like a match made in heaven, Robin is a fitness influencer who posts videos on social media and YouTube around diets, fitness regimes and everyday life to Britain’s youngest billionaire now including their two baby twin boys who were born on Christmas Eve last year.
Robin has amassed nearly 400,000 subscribers on YouTube as of May 2023 and over 700,000 followers on Instagram under the name Robin Francis.
