George, fuelled by an entrepreneurial drive and a longing for autonomy, spent nine years in the London property industry, aiming to amass the resources to venture out on his own. At 30, he bid farewell to London and co-founded Kiss Gyms, a highly acclaimed and budget-friendly gym chain. George successfully exited Kiss in 2020, leaving behind a thriving business.
For the past six years, George has been an integral part of IncuHive, ultimately acquiring the business in August 2023. IncuHive operates business centres and coworking spaces spanning Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Surrey, providing extensive business support and training services throughout the southern region. Passionate about the journey towards Net Zero, George is committed to aiding small businesses in their decarbonization efforts.
