Episode 2: Chris Hyland from The Happiness Index

In this episode of the podcast, Chris talks us through the fundraises they’ve done so far at The Happiness Index, and what they’ve got planned next, sharing real ‘behind-the-scenes’ perspectives on what worked, what didn’t and what they’d do differently next time! Chris Hyland Bio At the age of 26, I started my first business, a digital marketing agency 4Ps Marketing with my friend and business partner Matthew Phelan in the height of the 2008 global recession. We went on a fantastic journey of growth which led to us being acquired by a French PLC called NetBooster in September 2016. Two amazing years followed and on our 10th anniversary, we decided it was time for a change and left the business with 160 people in the UK & 1,000 globally. In 2014 I co-founded The Happiness Index with friends Matt Phelan & Tony Latter with a belief that if you give employees a voice, organisations will become a happier place and this will have a huge knock-on effect on peoples personal lives. I am now full time at The Happiness Index where my role focuses on two key aspects, keeping our employees and customers happy! I have also invested in two early-stage tech businesses in Guild & beBettor which I am super excited about their potential, and I am a Board Advisor for a brilliant up and coming agency called Ecrubox Digital. https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjhyland/ https://twitter.com/chrisjhyland Julie Barber Bio  CEO of Spark!
