Outside The Box Caskets

"But is it strong enough?"

We get asked this a lot.

These photos are from 2019. We tested and tested and tested again. Sometimes I thought this is never going to work.

Here's what that looked like behind the scenes. 320kg strong. 💪

Five years ago, during an interview with the National Business Review, I was asked if I had plans to go global.

"Absolutely, definitely."

On Sunday I'm heading to the UK for the launch of Outside The Box Caskets.
It's taken a lot longer than I expected, but we're finally getting there.

In my latest interview with NBR, we talked about everything from starting out as a new player in a very traditional industry, to expanding into the UK, along with some of the challenges that come with growing a business and protecting your ideas and IP.

I've had plenty of people tell me it wouldn't work. I've had people try to knock me down along the way. If anything, it just gave me more motivation to keep going.

As for the copycats? I suppose it means we're doing something right. 😉

If you're heading to the National Funeral Exhibition at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, from 11 - 13 June, come and say hi!
