Youngest UK billionaire Ben Francis' rise from parents' garage to Gymshark fortune

Ben Francis has been named as the UK's youngest billionaire - and has now revealed his plans to expand his gym wear empire even further.

The chief executive of athletics and leisure brand, Gymshark, is set to open more physical stores, having told Bloomberg Radio on Monday: "I don't know what that looks like now, but these are conversations we're going to be having over the next few weeks internally."

It comes after the 30-year-old last month made his debut to Forbes' billionaire's list, with an estimated net worth of $1.2billion (£992million) - which puts him in the top spot as the UK's youngest billionaire.
