The Trtl Story
Company founded
After >100 designs and prototypes and designs, Trtl officially launched at the Edinburgh Christmas Market – selling all 160 units which had been handmade by Michael and his co-founder
Michael met Richard Branson by chance and was offered a £200k investment but turned it down to keep control of the brand and its products.
Trtl appeared on Dragon’s Den which raised profile.
The Huffington Post mentioned the Trtl pillow and sales exploded…
The Trtl Pillow was gifted at the Golden Globes and Oscars – and Jamie Foxx modelled one!
Having continued to focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, Trtl had expanded its product lines, market presence and customer base – hitting the milestone of selling one million Trtl Pillow Original products in 2019.
Demand for travel products plummeted as lockdowns were imposed across the globe and Trtl experienced a 97% loss in sales.
£125k worth of compression socks were donated to NHS workers.
As the world opened up again, demand for international travel recovered and grew quickly so the company began to rebuild.
Trtl had a record-breaking year achieving its highest-ever sales revenue.
Aiming to deepen engagement with the brand, the Get Lost Community was created in May 2023.
Continuing to innovate and expand our product offerings, Trtl is ready for rapid growth as a global brand dedicated to crafting innovative accessories, empowering travellers to make the most of their adventures around the world.
I founded the business after University by combining my skill sets for design and problem-solving with my passion for travel. We decided that we wanted to solve a fundamental problem incredibly well, and the result of that is the Trtl Travel Pillow, which we’ve now sold in over 100 countries.
