Brie Read, CEO and Founder of Snag Tights has been named as one of LDC’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2020. The programme, which is supported by The Telegraph, celebrates the inspiring leaders behind some of the UK’s most successful and fast-growing medium-sized firms. There were more than 350 nominations and those profiled hail from every corner of the country, operate across a multitude of industries, employ more than 5,250 people and collectively contribute more than £1bn to the UK economy.
Brie Read, CEO and Founder of Snag Tights, is just one of four women business leaders to be profiled so far in the LDC’s Top 50 shortlist. Her success story began when she established the huge gap in the market for tights that actually fit women of all shapes and sizes. An industry-first success story, Snag Tights ensure no snagging or sagging. Made with super-stretchy yarns, their unique three-dimensional fit – based on height, dress size and body shape – is available in sizes 4 – 36.
In less than three years since their conception, Snag have had an incredible 3233% growth in turnover, have sold over 3 million pairs of tights and are available to purchase in more than 50 international markets including the US, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Brie said: “I feel incredibly proud to be named among UK’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders, particularly winning the Award for Resilience for our fight back from the impact of Covid-19. The secret behind our success is the combination of our unique product – which is designed to genuinely fit – and championing our customers of all sizes. We couldn’t have done this without our incredible customer community, who rallied round the business during the tough times at the beginning of lockdown. With their support, we’re looking forward to continuing to grow and develop in the coming years.”
