Just over a year ago Sarah Mackie, one of the owners of family run Larchfield Estate sat next to the amazing Dave Linton of Madlug at a LCCC Business Event. Blown away by the phenomenal work that the team at Madlug do, Larchfield Estate immediately went into partnership with Madlug, ordering bags that could be given to couples as a wedding gift. Now that a sister company Think Storage has been launched (www.think-storage.co.uk) Gavin and Sarah further support Madlug with free self-storage units for stock of bags. This weeks Guest Blog is written by Dave Linton, CEO and Founder of Madlug.
