George is the co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Sanctus. Sanctus is an organisation that supports and partners with businesses to normalise mental health within the workplace. They offer a proactive and preventative solution, making it easier for employees to talk about their mental health and general wellbeing at work.
Even if you haven’t heard of Sanctus, their mission will sound pretty familiar: they want to create a world where mental health is viewed the same as physical health - even if this means putting the world's first mental health gyms on the high street. They have worked with huge organisations like Octopus ventures, BCG, Just Eat, Red Bull and Vice.
George takes us through his own fascinating story: Professional football until the age of 18, starting a watch business before he’d even got to University and founding MatchChat whilst still studying. We hear about his experience of founding MatchChat with his best friend James. It was the stress and unhappiness of this experience that led the two of them to found Sanctus, which now employs over 20 people. George is remarkably frank about his status as an entrepreneur, as well as the highs and lows that come with it.
