Ben Francis was born on 4th June 1992 in the UK. He grew up in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, to British parents. His parents lent him their garage to start his career at the age of 19.
Here, he set up a shop where he designed clothes. After borrowing a few necessary supplies from his grandmother, he started his very own business.
Before that, he got his first lesson on business from his grandfather, who used to take him on business runs.
He put his dreams into effect when he joined Aston University to study international business and management. But he later dropped out after launching Gymshark.
