Co‑founder and CMO

DOUGH BROS. Pizza & Doughnuts

Ed Rolston, a Hong Kong‑born, delivery‑led food brand built around great dough, real ingredients, and food that’s designed for how people actually eat today.

A former professional rugby player, Rolston represented both the Leicester Tigers (UK) and Hong Kong’s senior national team before a career‑ending neck injury forced an early retirement. That experience shaped his approach to business — grounded in discipline, teamwork, and doing things properly.

In 2019, Rolston co‑founded Dough Bros with longtime friend and teammate Matt Lamming (CEO), building the first store by hand and developing a sourdough pizza and fresh doughnut concept designed for delivery. From the outset, the focus was simple: quality without elitism, food worth looking forward to, and a brand that felt genuine.

Today, Rolston leads Dough Bros’ brand, marketing & creative direction, helping grow the business from a single neighbourhood shop into a multi‑market brand across Hong Kong and internationally, while staying true to its original point of view.
