You can’t win every battle.
But you can choose You can’t win every battle.
But you can choose where to focus your energy.
When copycats came for Trunki — we fought back.
We took them to court.
We won.
Then we lost.
And then we lost again.
But instead of giving up, we told our story.
Loudly. Proudly. Publicly.
And people listened.
We didn’t win in court.
We won in the market.
In the press.
In the hearts of families across the UK.
That year?
Our best ever UK sales.
So if you’re facing a fight right now:
✖️ Don’t chase every battle
✔️ Focus where it counts
📣 Own your narrative
💥 And keep building

Hosted my Campfire group at my home this week — Hosted my Campfire group at my home this week — a full day of reflection, honest conversation, and connection.

We started the day out on the deck with check-ins, sharing where we were in life, what we were holding, and what we needed. The view definitely helped.

Then lunch and dinner brought smaller, deeper chats — the kind that hit both heart and head.

We covered business challenges, family stuff, identity shifts… no filters, just real talk.

Opening up my home, the space I’ve been crafting for the last 10 months, was surprisingly fulfilling. I loved hosting. It felt good to share it. I’d love to do more of it.

Campfire has been a huge part of my own journey, helping me navigate one of the hardest transitions of my life, and start building something better.

Creating a fun and inspiring work environment was Creating a fun and inspiring work environment was key to Trunki’s success. Now that I’m working from home, I’ve brought that same philosophy into my new space—an open-plan, creative hub with stunning Bristol views that energise and inspire fresh thinking.
After nine months of renovations, I realised the upstairs of my home is perfect for small business workshops, offsites, and team-building days. It’s designed to help teams break out of routine, spark new ideas, and think differently.

✅ Seats up to 10 people around a large meeting table (which doubles as a table tennis table!) 🏓
✅ Breakout areas & a spacious deck for fresh air and panoramic views 🌄
✅ The old Trunki slide for some grown-up fun 🚀

Tired of hiring uninspiring meeting rooms? If you’re planning an offsite, strategy day, or workshop and want a setting that fuels innovation, let’s chat!
📍 Check out more details and photos at the link in bio or DM me—I’d love to host your next big idea!
