Seen the recent news about the multimillion-pound sale of Trunki? The makers of the children’s colourful ride-on suitcases. Given all the headlines we figure it’s a good time to revisit the chat we had with Rob Law from a few years back in 2020.
Having been rejected by the Dragons’ Den who described Trunki as a ‘worthless company’, Rob’s proven them wrong. Big time. With sales of over 5 million Trunki cases since his disastrous pitch in 2006, Rob went on to be one of the most successful entrepreneurs rejected by the Dragons. The company has won over 120 awards including The National Business Awards SME of the Year and Rob has received an MBE for Services to Business.
Rob spoke to us as part of a series of HUB CP online events put on during lockdown. He talks candidly about that Dragons’ Den experience. How you can overcome knock-backs, defy the odds in life and business and achieve unprecedented success, even when the odds are stacked against you.
