Dean then spent the next three decades honing his craft, working inside the performance and sport trade. Working alongside some of the finest brands on the planet and meeting some of the world’s best athletes, Dean built for himself an incredible list of contacts and a deep knowledge of the industry that few others possessed.
When he parted ways from his last employed position, he decided that it was time to play to his strengths. Out of sheer desperation to be able to pay the mortgage and provide for his family, he stacked as many of the odds in his favour as he could and launched a brand-new sportswear brand in a fiercely competitive market with huge marketing budgets, from his garage.
That brand was HUUB and since turning over half a million pounds in his first 9 months of trading, Dean and his team have built the business into a worldwide brand that is synonymous with a variety of performance sports and boasts global sporting icons such as the Brownlee bothers, Henri Schoeman and Ricahrd Varga amongst its huge roster of brand ambassadors.
This was another brilliant, candid interview with a truly inspirational entrepreneur who shows that if you have a dream and you have the drive, obsession and determination to make it happen, anything is possible.
You know, success leaves footprints...
So, let’s take a walk with a true legend of Derby business, a high performance entrepreneur and athlete himself and owner of HUUB, Dean Jackson.
