An Interview with our Founder

Do you play rugby?

I am a huge rugby fan. I watch every World Cup game and never miss a 6 nations match, whoever’s playing, but I can’t play anymore. Even at school, I only played a little 7s. I was the wrong shape for rugby: a real matchstick man. We were really lucky that the office was virtually in the shadow of Twickenham and the Stoop, so we had live rugby available whenever we needed a fix. Having relocated, we don’t have that luxury anymore, but the local club is just across the fields.

Where did the idea for Rugby Ball Light come from?

A few years ago, we were asked to create a table centre for hospitality areas at Twickenham. We came up with the idea of the Light. Originally it was much simpler and powered by a battery. After a couple of events, the client came back and asked us to manufacture more lights, as some had been taken by guests as souvenirs. It was then we realised that the Light would be a great piece of rugby memorabilia – the perfect rugby gift.
