Rob Law is the founder of ‘Trunki’ the world’s first hand luggage approved kid’s suitcase with wheels. He was rejectrob  Trunkised by the UK TV show Dragons’ Den but then went on to sell more than 250,000 ‘Trunki’s’ in 30 countries, through over 300 retailers including John Lewis. Rob is supporting World Trade Week UK.

Rob says:

I’ve seen for myself the benefits of thinking globally when it comes to launching your own business. There really is a world of opportunity for budding entrepreneurs – you just have to be positive and wholly committed to your ideas and vision. Going international with your product can be daunting, particularly in the current economic climate, but the potential returns are huge.

In fact, trading internationally has made Trunki stronger and better equipped to ride out the recession, as our diverse income stream means we are protected from the changes in individual foreign money markets.

This week is the first ever World Trade Week UK, launched by the government to promote free and open trade between countries. As creator of the Trunki brand, I’m very keen to offer my support to initiatives such as this and Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Sharing business skills and knowledge across the world doesn’t just benefit individual businesses like ours, it is absolutely crucial for the wider global economy and will be key in steering us out of the current economic crisis.
