NYC - November 26, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —
Thomas Beattie may be best known for his football career for Hull City FC in England, but when a career-ending skull fracture and subsequent brain hemorrhage ended his career, he had to reinvent himself. Since his injury, he has had 10 surgeries to correct the damage, but he has also discovered a new sense of perseverance and drive that have helped him push through the roadblocks he faced.
His drive to exceed in everything he did began with his signing to Hull City FC at just 9. He then went on to become a professional athlete with Hull City, but an injury sidelined his ability to continue playing soccer. It was at this time that he began creating new products and services to become his income. His first attempt at entrepreneurship was an app named Ovvy, which is the top service marketplace in Singapore, topping out at #8 in the Apple store. Ovvy has 15 employees working for it now and since launch, has brought in over $1 million SG in funding.
The next company he created was the Hygiene Hub. This company helps hotels, malls, gyms, and restaurants with hygiene solutions. It now has 6 employees and is getting ready for series A funding at this time. From there came Latent Epicure, which ranks as #1 on Amazon and brings in approximately $300,000 dollars per month and is growing annually. Today, Beattie has 11 companies: Ovvy App, Hygiene Hub, Latent Epicure, Samara Capital Investments, Shake Farm, Chow Social, Roquepress, Sankalpa Group, Alexa Homes UK, North Star Investment Group, and TB6, which is a holding company that holds all of his equity. Information on each of these companies can be found on his website https://iamthomasbeattie.com.
About Thomas Beattie: Thomas Beattie is an entrepreneur with a world vision. His goal is to motivate others so that they know they can make it past that would otherwise sideline them, just like his injury. CLEO named Beattie one of Singapore’s most eligible bachelors of 2019, and he has also been featured in FORBES. After his injury, he became determined to make the best of his new situation, and these businesses are the result of that dedication.
