Tommy Mallet is the creator and founder of highly successful shoe brand Mallet London.
His footwear brand is currently stocked in Harrods and is currently eyeing up a stockist in the US with Saks Fifth Avenue believed to be interested.
Tommy started the company shortly after his GCSEs when he couldn’t find any shoes in a style that he liked.
He called in a favour from a friend who worked in a factory where he could pull together a prototype.
Now the brand counts David Beckham as a fan.

Tommy’s girlfriend Georgia has also made a name for herself as a fashion designer and founded her line of swimwear called Summer Dreams by Georgia K.
She also designed a fast-selling denim range for Boyfriend Tokyo.
James 'Diags' Bennewith

Diags works for his family plumbing company, Plumb Point Essex, and is often spotted around the area driving their branded van.
