the shop for travel plugs
travelplugs.co.uk
is a small, friendly, family run business which all began when one of
the owners needed a travel plug for a holiday with his family.
All the travel plugs in the shops were very general, and only allowed one item to be plugged in at a time.
What was needed was something that would plug into a single socket, in this case a French socket, and would allow a number of UK items to be plugged in all at the same time.
This might seem unnecessary but it wasn't. His youngest child needed a nightlight to allow her to go to sleep, his wife needed to charge up her iPod during the night ready for the following day, he had an electric shaver which needed to be charged up several times during the holiday, and they both had mobile phones which needed charging at various times while the other items were plugged in.
The only answer was to make up his own travel plug, and that is how it all started. Once he used his new travel plug system, his friends who were on holiday with him, liked the idea and decided they needed one too. It just grew from there.
