YMU Group Signs Grace Beverley

YMU Group has signed Grace Beverley for global 360 management.

Grace is a serial entrepreneur, changemaker and digital broadcaster. At the age of 27, she has founded 3 highly successful companies – activewear brand TALA, fitness tech brand Shreddy, and personal organisation brand The Productivity Method – and has a global following of over 3 million people on social media.

Grace was named first in Forbes 30 under 30’s retail and e-commerce list at age 23. Her first book, Working Hard, Hardly Working, was an instant Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller – and Grace’s podcast of the same name has a reach of over 25 million people. Grace has been featured by BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Bloomberg News, Business Insider and Vogue Business.

At YMU, Grace will be represented by the newly-formed Global Entertainment division, whose stellar client roster also includes Ant & Dec, Claudia Winkleman, Jamie Laing, Simon Cowell, Clara Amfo, Dr Julie and ShxtsNGigs.

Lucy Loveridge, YMU’s Joint Managing Director of Global Entertainment, said: “Grace really is a stand-out multi-hyphenate talent – the scale of what she’s achieved is just jaw-dropping.

“With our best-in-class teams across social media, events, brand partnerships and digital marketing, YMU can provide a uniquely powerful launchpad for the next phase of Grace’s exponential growth.”

Grace Beverley said: “I feel I’m at such a pivotal point in my career, particularly with the growth of the Working Hard, Hardly Working podcast, and YMU’s new division feels like the perfect fit. I’m really looking forward to working with Lucy and the YMU teams.”
