The Next Gen: Ali & John | NattyShedLife Podcast

From weekend work experience to real-world responsibility, both Ali Gillies and John Mackay (Jr) have stepped into the business with confidence, curiosity and calm.

Ali’s drive and quiet ambition have already made him indispensable on the sales floor. John’s curiosity and technical skill are transforming how marketing runs behind the scenes.

This episode dives into what it means to grow inside a family business, how mentorship and trust build the next generation of leaders, and why letting go – and letting them lead – is the only way forward.
