Meet the founders

Hello! We are…

- Henrik Rutgersson: born in Sweden, made in London, husband and father of two.
- Gavin Meech: a Soccer loving British expat, husband, and father of two.

Two people on different journeys who crossed paths in London and ended up co-founding a business in the USA. Welcome to Kindertrekk.com: the culmination of our work and efforts over the last year.

Let’s rewind the tape: We met in London in 2017 working for a British luggage company. We each moved our families from England to New York (Henrik) & Georgia (Gavin) due to fantastic career opportunities for our wives. We left our jobs to take the journey across the pond and support our families, this created a unique opportunity to do something we’ve both always been passionate about: start a travel accessories business.

From regular video calls sharing our experiences and adventures with our children, the idea emerged to build a one-stop shop for families who love to travel, and Kindertrekk was born.

As with any new company, encouragement and support from our friends and family will help launch our business.
Please follow our Facebook and Instagram pages to be part of this exciting journey with us at Kindertrekk.

Henrik & Gavin
