How did
all this happen?
Firebox.com began life in early 1998 as hotbox.co.uk, an
internet retailer founded by university friends Michael Smith and Tom Boardman.
Operating out of Cardiff, the company saw rapid initial growth due to the huge
success of Michael and Tom's (much-imitated) invention, the Shot Glass Chess
Set. In the Summer of 1999 the company moved to London and relaunched as
Firebox.com.
