A day with Fraser Smeaton, co-founder of successful brand Morphsuits, including lunch powered by Alibaba.com
Three young entrepreneurs have created a whole new category of fancy dress costumes after being inspired by a polyester and Lycra costume they saw while on a stag weekend in Dublin. For the financial year ending May 2012, Morphsuits posted revenues of just under £12 million. Fraser commented: "We have a huge amount of ambition. Over the past year-on-year we have been growing by 300% - and we want to continue that growth trajectory. We believe we have the tools to do just that, both with going into new markets, new types of suits and new countries."
