Britain's youngest new billionaire receives MBE

30-year-old Ben Francis is the founder of Gymshark and Britain's youngest new billionaire.
The company was launched in 2012 by Ben and his friend when they couldn't find the bodybuilding gear they wanted to wear when training.
It's now a fully fledged sportswear brand, taking on established giants like Nike and Adidas and turning over hundreds of millions of pounds a year.
In recognition of that, he was awarded an MBE for his services to the business sector.
