You’ll most likely know today’s guest as Co-Founder of Honest Burgers but he’s been working away on something transformative and has also Co-Founded another business in the form of Pineapple described as “future proofing hospitality through people data and research”. I am of course talking about Philip Eeles.
Philip is high on energy from the outset and to the backdrop of his balcony in Brighton, and a Gin & Tonic, we set to getting through his rather wonderful story.
There’s so much to love, including:-
- The 2023 Philip Eeles
- Journalism aspiration
- Starting in hospitality to pay the bills
- Meeting Tom
- Getting off and running
- Naivety
- Lewes Fireworks
- The Third Co-Founder
- Brixton Market
- Expansion
- Real Loyalty
- Mistakes
- Storytelling and culture
- The future
- Pineapple
And so much more. At times through his story you’d be forgiven for thinking that Philip lunged from one mistake to the next (Hence the title, burgering it up – You see what I did there), but the reality is that under this fun loving and high energy guy, is one driven human and as a result we have so many lessons to take from our chat.
Enjoy!
