Back in 2007, disillusioned with the rat race, we decided to pack it all in, sell our possessions and buy one-way tickets to Asia, where we began an exciting new adventure exploring new worlds, cultures, music and nature. Fascinated by the diversity and skills we saw as we wandered through endless markets, souks and streetstalls, we formed an idea to set up a small business importing some of these ethical and fairly traded items into Scotland. As we travelled around, we met with artisans, women's co-operatives, traditional weavers and other craftspeople and over time we developed lasting business relationships with them. Business with a personal basis. We placed emphasis on fair trade, mutual respect and sustainability, and by cutting out the middlemen we were able to find a competitive niche in the UK craft market. The result is Terrapin Trading Ltd.
