POUF DADDY FOUNDER PAWNS OWN YACHT TO DESIGN HIGH-END BEAN BAGS! LIVE ON CHANNEL 4 TOMORROW NIGHT - WEDS 26TH SEPTEMBER @ 8PM
LONDON, UK – 25th August 2014: Crazy, inspired and eccentric are all words that could be used to describe Steve Crompton's bid to fund a new designer bean bag venture – POUF DADDY. Tomorrow night (Weds 26th September@ 8pm) Channel 4's ‘Posh Pawn’ series shows him pawning his yacht in bid to fund his bean bag business! The Posh Pawn team James Constantinou and the London-based Prestige Pawnbrokers jet off to sunkissed Palma to investigate Steve’s yacht, thought to be worth £150,000.
Speaking about parting with his yacht Steve said, “It was my pride and joy, the ultimate boys toy, but you can make a lot of beans bags for the price of a yacht so it had to be done to get the business afloat. I'm delighted and business is already booming, so I am hoping to buy it back some day soon”.
Businessman Steve is one half of the recently launched flexible furniture brand POUF DADDY, his partner Ben Sowton is owner and founder of renowned dance music record label – Seemless Recordings. With many years of experience between them in events, restaurants, design and music, the entrepreneurs met in Mallorca and spotting a gap in the market over drinks one evening the POUF DADDY concept was born.
Launching earlier this month, this new business is off to a promising start, just where can this venture go next after selling a yacht to finance the start up? Keep all eyes on these purveyors of luxury lounging; this brand is certainly one to watch!
