If I was at boarding school and my parents were wealthy I'd want a really nice trunk to show off instead of a red plastic shipping box. I can definitely imagine the students' trunks are a bit of a fashion statement, especially considering they're usually in school uniform at most boarding schools.

[@davidscottblacksmith]

Exactly. Their image was hardly one of class. T-shirts and red plastic whilst trying to appeal to boarding schools.

[@MayorSom]

Touker made the best point. How many people are really sending their children off to boarding school with their clothes in plastic trash bags? Not many.

[@nickpellatt]

In 2019/20 there were over 500,000 overseas studentsin the UK. Thats the market Id imagine. They dont arrive with plastic bags ... but after a year studying, the 30kg luggage has turned into 45kg of possessions with another 10kg of books. I could see this working tbh

[@HopelessKitten]

@@nickpellatt totally agree, I went to boarding school with tons of overseas students , Bin bags and pillow cases were the most commonly used storage items for leaving books/uniform at the school over break. Some of these kids had parents driving Ferraris and fancy houses but most parents were just making ends meet to send them to the school.

[@YasmeenKhan]

the way to do it is to expand to do storage for university private halls. thousands more overseas students, all also rich, and the halls all want to use their rooms as holiday lets just as much. i mean obviously specialist storage services already exist - I see little vans picking up students' stuff and dropping it off every term - but the 'we'll steam clean your stuff for you' angle might attract some also this is my favourite Deborah hairstyle

[@calsmyth4483]

You can already get your stuff steam cleaned. Though I can't say the rich students I knew ever really had much interest in that, nor do they need holiday storage as you don't typically rent for term-time only, it will be the whole year.

[@awunggawunggshi1137]

[@HopelessKitten]

Maybe I went to the one boarding school that doesn’t use trunks but the bin bags and pillow cases / duvet sheets is accurate lol , it was almost cheaper to buy new school books than to fly them home and back every summer lol This is for storing the school stuff / uniform etc at the school over breaks , not bringing it home

N also when he did make some offers, he hardly gets it. Unless the pitch is related to clothing business, he brings nothing on the table and not worth such greedy percentages he asks for....

[@susanwaugh2383]

I disagree. Touker nearly always makes an offer of investment. His percentages are high I agree, but he’s always up against it when Deborah and Peter make an offer. He has offered investment on many non clothing products! Sarah and Jenny on the other hand are time wasters. Sarah always followed the crowed and Jenny was always out.

so what is the business again? they provide the boxes, to rich kids going to private school?

Plus kids grow, no matter how expensive the uniform, it has a natural shelf life.

They store the stuff over the holidays so they don't have to fly home with it, which is expensive and cumbersome.

[@ianlister7333]

@@littleboots9800 so a serviced storage contract. The question still remains, how much is worth psying to keep once you remember kids grow, and fashion changes.

[@littleboots9800]

@@ianlister7333 that's basically it. Storage with a few extras like cleaning and name taping which is pointless because you would've already name taped the stuff when you bought it. I can only really see sports equipment and books being things that you'd need the next year or term? I guess £150 is nothing to rich ppl for a little convenience. Doesn't sound like a hugely pressing problem to me tbh.

[@ianlister7333]

So do they sell plastic trunks that students can put items in while on holiday, which are securely stored for the students and returned the next semester? Basically giving the students an option to travel with only a small suitcase during the holiday, rather than needing to haul all of their stuff with them? Business is unclear 🤷‍♂️ For that reason, Jenny would be right to be out.

[@IronHulkTriathlon]

Memorizing the numbers just isn't a good approach in evaluating someone's business acumen. Critical and strategic thinking aren't dependent on memorizing datasets without the usage of basic technology. A primary function of technology is to alleviate humans from such burdens, freeing them up for higher cognitive challenges. I understand that producers force memorization for added drama but it takes credibility away from everyone involved in the production of the show.

[@JL-zq9ly]

[@hansiesma16]

We all had a trunk - usually twice as big as those crates, and we also had a big suitcase. The trunk was intended to hold all of our belongings that were used in the whole year, and the suitcase was for packing up what we needed for the immediate holiday home. Most kids families lived in the tropics and didn't need the majority of their belongings to go with them so the trunk would be stored somewhere by the school till the next term. The trunk would stay at the school until you left so anything from six years to twelve years. One trunk, and a tuckbox to be left at the school was all that was allowed so accumulating too much stuff wasn't really an option. So I can't see that this company would have had a role to play in my day when the problem of storage was not a problem.

@@global-reset I don't think so, on the whole. They are just competing with a market which already does all of this, and does it well. Nobody in their right mind is going to travel with a trunk three times a year. They're designed to act as a transportable storage facility.

This could be made so much bigger if they just think.. well.. outside the box.. Instead of everyone buying a trunk to ship the stuff to the school. Why not have this as a service at the school, and if the parents go for it, ship it to the parents before school starts so the students can use this as their travel-trunk as well as their vacation storage.. I notice they can be "flatpacked" already, so shipping wouldn't be too bad (and I'm sure this service isn't cheap). Also, having the clothes inside being cleaned and pressed during vacations is great (I understood it so far that this was one of the service levels they have).
