Stephen Hutchinson’s Biography:

Spencer Matthews is a British entrepreneur, endurance athlete and keynote speaker, best known as Founder and Chief Brand Officer of CleanCo and a Guinness World Records holder. While his early public profile was shaped by television, Spencer’s career has evolved into one defined by discipline, reinvention and long term performance. He now balances leadership in business with elite endurance sport, positioning himself as a credible voice on resilience, moderation and mental health in high pressure environments.

Spencer was educated at Eton College before attending the University of Southern California, where he studied cinema and television and later left early. His formative years were deeply influenced by the loss of his brother Michael during a Mount Everest expedition, an experience that shaped his outlook on risk, responsibility and purpose. Spencer entered the public eye through ‘Made in Chelsea’, gaining national recognition and a platform that came with intense scrutiny. This period exposed him early to the realities of performance under pressure and public accountability, experiences that later informed his more measured and reflective approach to career and life.

Following his time in reality television, Spencer redirected his focus towards achievement driven by structure and self discipline. He won Channel 4’s ‘The Jump’ in 2017 and reached the final of ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ in 2018, milestones that reflected growing commitment and resilience. In 2019, Spencer founded CleanCo, after reassessing his relationship with alcohol following fatherhood and identifying a gap in the market for premium alcohol free spirits. As Founder and Chief Brand Officer, he led the brand’s expansion across the UK, US and EU, helping to shape a new consumer category. Alongside entrepreneurship, Spencer embraced endurance sport, completing multiple ultra endurance challenges and in 2024 setting a Guinness World Record for completing 30 marathons in 30 consecutive days. In 2025, he completed PROJECT SE7EN, finishing seven full distance Ironman triathlons across seven continents, including Antarctica.
