The Morrck Story

It all started in that exceptionally hot summer of 2003 in the Special Care Baby Unit of Milton Keynes Hospital. We had both had our babies very prematurely, Isobel with her twins weighing just 3lbs each and Kate with her son of just 1lb 15ozs. We got to know each other well during the two months that we practically lived there.

We were brought (or thrown!) together by the struggles and crises of those first few weeks and so when our little ones were finally ready to leave hospital, we kept in touch and became good friends.

We were both professional women with busy and challenging careers, but we began to realise that our first priority, and true passion, was our babies. We shared the same parenting frustrations, and struggled to find the right products for our growing children.

We were disappointed with the utter impracticality of so many baby products, and kept finding ourselves with new ideas, saying… ‘What I need is this...’ ‘Why doesn’t anyone make that?

The final straw came for Isobel when she actually tried leaving the house with her twins and discovered that the actual practicality of getting out of the house on time, keeping the girls at the right temperature without constantly waking them to take coats on and off, remembering what you left the house for in the first place and remaining sane was in fact impossible.

Knowing that she would again at some point need to leave the house, Isobel turned her attention to making getting out and about as simple and safe as possible. This resulted in our first invention, which has become the multi award winning Baby Hoodie Travel Wrap.

With the new invention, our business was born and although we thought of many names for our new venture, but one just stuck. ‘MORRCK’ is, quite simply, the initials of our babies and their first friends; the true driving force behind our vision.
