It all began at the start of Covid 19...
When the government introduced unsecured business loans, our small design studio, established in 2009 and thriving before the pandemic, took the opportunity to adapt. With a £25,000 loan from then Chancellor Rishi Sunak, we invested in our first Trotec" Speedy lOO" laser cutter and engraver.
Lockdown gave us time to master this new tool, experiment, and create our very first product. The idea came from a simple playground chat with another mum who worked in travel. Together we dreamt up a Lapland signpost memento and once it hit the internet the response was overwhelming. That one design sparked a new chapter for us.
Fast forward to today...
Several machines and countless ideas later, we've grown into a trusted creative partner for independent travel agents and travel brands across the UK. What started with a single laser cutter and a spark of curiosity has become a thriving studio where imagination meets craftsmanship
Today, our Buckingham workshop hums with creativity. From the first sketch to the final engraving, every design is created, personalised, and finished in-house by our small but passionate team.
We work with natural materials like wood, leather, and acrylic, combining precision technology with an artisan's eye for detail. The result? Beautifully made pieces that feel personal, purposeful, and distinctly yours. Our collections include everything from bespoke travel tags and luggage accessories to tailored corporate gifts and branded merchandise, each designed to celebrate the joy of travel while keeping your brand front and centre.
As we continue to grow, invest, and innovate, our mission remains the same, to help our clients strengthen customer loyalty, create lasting impressions, and build brand recognition through thoughtful, high-quality gifts that tell a story.
Because at M&B, we don't just make products - we help your brand travel further.
Our next chapter
We continue to innovate, explore, and experiment with new materials, fresh ideas, and ever-evolving designs. At M&B, every day is a learning day, and that curiosity keeps our work exciting and our creativity alive.
As we grow, we're committed to investing in the best equipment and training our team to excel, ensuring we stay at the forefront of design and production. We love pushing boundaries, discovering what's possible and turning inspiration into something tangible, beautiful and meaningful.
Our journey is shaped by the same spirit that started it all: a passion for creating thoughtful, lasting gifts that celebrate travel and connection. We look forward to partnering with even more travel brands, helping them build recognition, strengthen loyalty, and give their clients unforgettable experiences, the kind that stay with them long after the journey ends. Because for us, the adventure never stops, it just keeps getting better.
