After over a decade as a musical theatre performer, delighting audiences in the West End and across the country, Andy Coxon set off on a new venture as co-founder of award-winning deodorant brand Akt London. Along with his friend Ed Currie, they sought to create a product that would bring about real results for their sweat problems. After trying and testing their deodorant balms on other West End performers, they found a winning formula which has now also found success with those outside the performing arts sectors.\xa0
