An MBE for Trunki Daddy!

Rob Law, Trunki MD and inventor, was awarded an MBE for ‘Services to Business’ in the New Year’s Honours list. It was definitely the perfect end to an outstanding year for Magmatic, and hopefully a good omen for the year ahead. It goes without saying that the team were more than happy to toast Rob’s new initials with a glass or two of champagne! Here are some photos of Rob's trip to visit the Queen. Along with him went Monty, the Corgi Trunki!
