Meat-free delight for Hamilton

According to a report from the Financial Times, Neat Burger – which features only vegan products – is now valued in excess of $100 million following the latest round of financing.

The report states: "The chain, which is backed by British racing driver Lewis Hamilton, raised $18mn from new investors including boutique bank LionTree and Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, as part of a series B round led by B-Flexion, the family office of Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli."

These impressive figures mean that the business has already witnessed valuation growth of 40 per cent compared to two years ago, according to the Financial Times' report.

Neat Burger opened its first venue outside of the UK in April, following up the eight locations in London with a store in New York.
