Building Your Own Legacy in a Family Business with Hannah Ault

What does it take to build your own identity in a family business with generations of history behind it? In this episode, we sit down with Hannah from Valentine Clays to explore her journey into the family business, from learning about the legacy created by her grandad and dad to discovering her own place within it. Hannah shares the challenges of stepping into an established business, the lessons she has learned along the way, and how she has found the confidence to contribute her own ideas while respecting the foundations that came before her. We also discuss the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Hannah reflects on how connecting with other women in business has inspired new ideas, encouraged creativity, and helped her grow both personally and professionally. She also highlights the incredible team at Valentine Clays and why building a supportive culture is just as important as building a successful business. This episode is a reminder that innovation does not always mean starting from scratch. Sometimes it comes from bringing a fresh perspective to an existing legacy, embracing new ideas, and having the confidence to shape the future.

The Heart of the Community - How AED Donate Is Saving Lives with Jamie Richards

What happens when you spot a gap that could mean the difference between life and death? In this episode, we sit down with Jamie from AED Donate to explore the moment that sparked the creation of a charity dedicated to making life-saving defibrillators more accessible to communities across the UK. Jamie shares how identifying a critical need led to a mission that is helping to save lives every single day. From installing defibrillators nationwide to providing ongoing maintenance and support, AED Donate is doing far more than placing equipment on walls. They are building a network of life-saving resources that communities can rely on when every second counts. We discuss the importance of public access defibrillators, the innovative live tracking system that helps people locate nearby devices, and the challenges and rewards of running a charity focused on such a vital cause. This conversation is a powerful reminder that innovation is not always about creating something new. Sometimes it is about recognising a problem, finding a better solution, and making a lasting difference to the people around you.

From Chicken Wire to Category Leader - The ProtectaPet Story with Eve Davies

In this episode, we sit down with Eve from ProtectaPet to talk about what it really means to build a business driven by innovation. What started as a solution to keep their own cat safe quickly evolved into a first-of-its-kind company, after a homemade chicken wire setup failed to withstand the British weather. Eve shares how that initial idea grew into the innovative pet protection solutions ProtectaPet is known for today. We discuss the emotional connection families have with their pets, why safety and peace of mind matter so much to pet owners, and how being the original in a growing market has positioned ProtectaPet as a leader others look to follow. Eve also opens up about running a business alongside her partner Simon, the importance of building a passionate team, and why investing in people is just as important as investing in products. At its heart, this conversation is all about innovation, what it means, how it drives ProtectaPet forward, and why continuing to evolve is essential to staying ahead.
