More About

In 2004, the Forkan Brothers tragically lost their parents when the Sri Lankan hotel they were staying in was destroyed in the Boxing Day Tsunami.
After being reunited with their younger brother and sister, the Brothers managed to hitch-hike over 200 miles through the devastation and make their way back to the UK.

Gandy Brothers – The Enterprise

In 2012, they founded Gandys from a London bedroom to honour their parents’ memory and give back to the community which had helped them when they were most in need.
Having started with flip-flops, Gandys is now a successful travel and lifestyle brand committed to supporting orphans around the world.
Through Rob and Paul’s Orphans for Orphans foundation, 10% of profits are used to help fund the ongoing development of their Kids’ Campuses, where orphans across the world are supported through education, medication and nutrition.

Gandy Brothers – Social Awareness

Rob and Paul are passionate about turning their personal tragedy into something positive by creating a brighter future for fellow orphans.
Their story has touched many people’s hearts; they have collaborated with the likes of Richard Branson, Liberty London, and McLaren F1, and the brand has even attracted some Royal attention with the Brothers being invited to Buckingham Palace for the launch of the Queens’ Young Leaders Programme.
To date, Gandys has built two children’s homes, one in Sri Lanka, one in Malawi two in Nepal and Brazil.

The Don’t Just Exist Campaign

The Don’t Just Exist Campaign is something Rob and Paul have started in order to urge people to lead their best lives, to adventure, explore, and give back.

Rob was fantastic, we have had such amazing feedback from the event and so many people saying how inspiring his talk was. The audience was engaged, he was interesting, inspiring and entertaining. He stayed for a while too which was really great. Thank you so much for all your help.
Acumen Business Convention

Rob and Paul’s story was very moving and I was humbled by their ability to turn a personal tragedy into something so positive.
Sir Richard Branson

We absolutely loved having Rob and Paul come into the Kuoni office to talk to our staff, we’ve been lucky to have them in twice now most recently to present to all of our retail managers from throughout the UK. Their story is so inspirational, from their childhood when travel formed a big part of their education through to setting up Gandys and hearing more about setting up and growing their business. The partnership we’ve set up together centres on our shared love of Sri Lanka, the places and the people, and it’s been brilliant working together.
