  • itn news reporting on the death of the haulage firm man Edward stobart died 56 on the 31 March 2011
    It is with great sadness and regret that Stobart Group shares the news that Edward Stobart,
    56, son of Eddie Stobart, passed away at 8.10am this morning at University Hospital
    Coventry, after heart problems yesterday.
    Although not involved with today's Stobart Group business, Edward was managing director
    of Eddie Stobart Ltd for over 30 years -- a business started by his father Eddie. Edward built
    Eddie Stobart Ltd into the iconic brand and business we know today before selling the
    company to brother William and business partner Andrew Tinkler in 2004. William Stobart
    continues the family involvement in his role as chief operating officer of Stobart Group
    today.
    Our thoughts are with Edward's wife Mandy, his children and family at this difficult time.
    so please take a minute to remeber whare all your goods come from many thanks byron

    I remember watching a programme how this company got to where it did. At the end of the programme it show Edward sitting down to eat his evening meal at a large dining table, all by himself as all the hard and long hours building up the company. Had taken its toll on his marriage, what a shame for them all

    I have driven for 36 years myself and wherever you came across Eddie Stobart trucks in Europe, they always looked neat and clean, just as a driver should take good care of his truck. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Funny how the legend overwrites the facts. Nobody remembers how he put many owner operators out of business by bidding for contracts that were not tenable and when the competition was gone he put his prices up again.

      Exactly, Eddie's firm did that trick in Barrow-in-Furness from personal experience and almost ran the local haulage firms into the ground after he'd had his way there. My source for that is a projects manager on their books (back then) who was disgusted with the tactic.

    The part when he's being interviewed where it says it was in 1986. It can't have been as the truck behind him is a 4 series Scania that was introduced til 1995 lol 😂

    What a legend. This man went from nothing to millions. Great bloke.

    • @grahamlive

      Not exactly nothing. A thriving family business with 8 trucks is still a helluva better leg up than most of us get. And I've yet to meet a "successful" businessman who was a great bloke. Maybe Mr Stobart was an exception, I don't know, I never met the bloke. But most folk in his position are ruthless bastards. You kind of have to be. It goes with the territory.

    Stobart really cared about image but didn't care too much about safety. Pushing commercial drivers to the limit every day GETS OTHER ROAD USERS KILLED.

    Best company to work for if want to rinse out the hours and get paid for doing nothing, and if you drive a diesel you can rip the anti Siphon out of the tank and help yourself to the fuel and nothing will be done about it.
