A clothing brand with a purpose with Justin Proud

Mental health is such a big issue today, in society but also for business.Joining Steve Randall on this episode is someone who knows only too well how mental health can affect lives, and he’s using his experience of it for a purpose-driven clothing brand.Justin Proud has created Solis to give hope of a brighter future for those with depression.He shares how his personal experience led him to a brand that meant more to him than the generic products business he had previously run, or the banking job that he feels contributed to his depression.Justin wants Solis to make a difference to others with depression, by inspiring hope but also by helping to fund the work of the Samaritans - £5 from the sale of each Solis t-shirt goes to the charity which says it costs £5 to answer each of its often life-saving calls.
