Career
Social media influencer
Beverley's social media accounts- including on YouTube and Instagram- under the name of GraceFitUK, as a "lifestyle vlogger" with a focus on fitness and veganism, enabled her to sell workout and diet guides to her fanbase, as well as led to her working with fitness company Gymshark. With the support of Genflow, an influencer brand-building company, Beverley established two companies, TALA and Shreddy.
TALA and Shreddy
TALA is a clothing brand that markets itself as providing sustainably made clothing. According to the company, most garments are made from recycled materials such as plastic bottles upcycled into yarn, or factory offcuts, retailing at prices similar to brands such as Nike and Adidas. It was launched in 2019 and turned over £6.2 million in its first year. Beverley is the founder and current CEO.
Shreddy is a fitness tech and equipment brand. Users pay a monthly fee to access exercise classes and meal plans on the app according to their preferences and goals, and can buy branded equipment required to complete the classes. Beverley is the founder and current CEO.
Some equipment now sold under the Shreddy umbrella brand was originally designed for one of Beverley's previous businesses, B_ND, which focussed on retailing resistance bands for home and gym use. The B_ND concept was assimilated into the Shreddy brand in 2020.
