The Brighton Beard Co. was born out of a little project by a couple based in Brighton. Jessica had finished her creative degree and was struggling to find employment, yet wanted to put her energy into something innovative. Lloyd had grown a substantial beard and needed to find some kind of beast control before his office’s “shave it” taunts got the better of him. There was nothing on the market that really grabbed his attention; and so it seemed to be the perfect project to keep Jessica out of trouble.

And so, after months of developing the brand, experimenting and creating multiple versions of products until they were perfect, getting the nod of approval from both Lloyd and their bearded family and friends; they made a tiny batch of three debut products before launching in early December 2013. The rest, as they say, is history. And Lloyd’s beard lived happily ever after.

Oh, and we thank all of the job rejections Jessica received in the Summer of 2013 - without you, we most probably wouldn’t be where we are now.
