Meet the Team

 

 

Daniel Green, CEO

Daniel founded his first business - Identikit - after leaving school at 18. In 1993 he went on to develop the Brand Centre Department Store Group which he sold to Moss Bros plc, and used that experience to establish You Me TV advising homeowners on TV, phone and internet packages. In 2006, when he sold it to BSkyB plc it had 60 stores across UK. As MD of Retail he helped it grow, as Sky Retail, to 350 stores employing over 700 staff and acquiring hundreds and thousands of new customers for the group.

Having achieved success in pure retail, Daniel wanted his next company to have commercial return but with a clear social purpose.
