**TALK: THE METEORIC RISE OF HONEST BURGERS**
The £55m Honest Story
In 2010, 27 year old Philip Eeles and business partner Tom Barton started a business flipping burgers in party tents. Today Honest Burgers has 45 branches, turning over c. £55m.
Hear Philip tell the extraordinary story of how it all happened .
Philip was studying hard for a journalism degree at Brighton when he met Tom Barton. They were earning good extra cash working at a restaurant nearby. Thirsty after work, they repaired to the pub. 7 pints later they decided to invest cash they'd saved - £2,500 each - to launch Honest Burgers.
