Gift Company To Hit The Small Screen

Gift and home company Hit Products is among the businesses featured in a prime time ITV business series called Give It A Year, fronted by businesswoman Karren Brady. The episode featuring Hit Products will be screened on August 13.

Barry Freeder, founder and managing director of Hit Products, set up the business after being made redundant from the property industry, where he worked as a chartered surveyor for 10 years. “Not content with the 9-5 grind, and with a passion for product design and development, I decided to launch Hit Products centred around creating unique consumer products, the first of which was the Couch Coaster,” explains Barry.

“I have now sold close to 100,000 units globally with a retail value of some $2.5 million and have travelled the world to sell my invention at trade shows in Europe, America and the Far East.”

The Give It A Year series, which originally launched in April 2018, follows the journey of a business owner during the first year of launching their new venture.
