Edward Stobart dies

This blog regrets to pass on the sad news of the death, age 56, of Edward Stobart. Edward was the son of the famous Eddie Stobart, who survives him. As a former, early member of the Eddie Stobart Fan Club and Eddie Spotter, my condolences are with his family and friends.

Edward turned an ordinary haulage firm into a national icon. The lorries always cheer me up on a long, tedious journey. Very British, very sturdy, very Eddie.
