#026 Succession of a Family Business, with Sophie Stott
I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with Sophie Stott, a woman who I believe encapsulates what it means to be a “Boss” of a Business Owner. In our conversation Sophie opens up about the challenges and rewards of taking over the family business, maintain its success and bringing it to new heights. Sophie is passionate about helping her team of 25 at Quickmail, win in life.
Sophie has been the Managing Director at Quickmail, her family's business, since January 2018. She has worked in the business since 2007. Quickmail (est. 1992) helps businesses both big and small with their mailing, eCommerce, warehousing, and distribution needs. Anything associated with getting products or marketing out to customers - from eCommerce fulfilment, direct mail to letterbox distribution - is in Quickmail's remit.
Since becoming Managing Director in 2018, Sophie has modernized the business towards even greater heights, and built Quickmail's fulfilment and distribution capabilities to accommodate for the emergence of eCommerce. Now a seven-figure company, Quickmail looks after over 200 clients, ranging from ecommerce businesses to government departments Sophie is also an owner and Director of Heavy-Duty Solutions, a Heavy Duty Diesel and Hydraulics company owned and managed with her husband, Colin.
