Hartley initially spent almost 20 years with his father and his brother in the supercar trading family business, a full partner based on merit by the time he was 16.

The eponymous business operates from a private showroom in Derbyshire, but has global reach—overseas sales have grown from £14.5 million ($19.6 million) to £33.3 million and the company was awarded the Queen’s Award for International Trade in 2018.

COMPANY KI L IAN COUNTRY FRANCE


FOUNDER


Heir to a long line of French cognac-makers who were pioneers in luxury, Hennessey graduated from CELSA in Paris, trained with the finest noses in perfumery, then launched his namesake brand in 2007. Just over a decade later, Kilian features more than 35 scents spread across distinct collections. One of the brand’s points of difference is its ‘eco- luxe’ philosophy where each bottle can be refilled and kept for a lifetime. The brand has diversified and offers a collection of wearable scented jewellery and decorative objects for the home.
