How to build Legacy
Yesterday evening Juls and I were privileged to attend a B&S end of year celebration.
...And it was nothing like any corporate event/dinner I have ever attended.
No seating plan.
No hierarchy.
No 'formal' speeches.
...just fun, friendly, inspirational shares
From the cleaner to the founders.
Everyone equal.
Everyone valued.
It was not a business dinner.
It was a family dinner... a frienship dinner
And suddenly it became crystal clear why this business has gone from one pharmacy to over £500m.
...And why I have zero doubt we will hit/surpass £1bn within 3 years.
This business does not talk about values.
It lives them.
If I had to sum up what I saw, felt and experienced in 5 words, it would be 5 Ps.
- People
- Passion
- Pride
- Principles
- Processes
People first.
Not on posters.
In behaviour.
You could feel it in the room.
The ease.
The respect.
The shared purpose.
No airs or graces.
No power plays.
Just people who matter 'knowing' they matter.
Passion that shines through generations.
Multiple generations working together.
And a genuine commitment to employ future generations of their people too.
This is not telling people they are important.
This is showing them.
Pride in every role.
Every customer.
Every transaction.
Principles that are lived, not laminated.
For everyone.
At every level.
And processes that think beyond today.
Not
How do we fix this fire?
But
How do we build a system so it never happens again?
Always asking
Who is best in the world?
What are they doing better?
How is the world changing?
And how must we change to stay ahead?
Samit & Alpa are extraordinary people.
Their Children are shining examples continuing that legacy
Kish a shining example of that next generation
Giving back at scale.
Building free schools for hundreds.
Growing people as the business grows.
Founded on values that are embodied every single day.
I do not often call out individual companies on this platform.
But this is an outstanding example of how to build something special.
Already the largest independent pharmacy wholesaler in the UK.
Soon to be one of the biggest in Europe.
And led by people who will build legacy, not just revenue.
Here on our skool platform as shining lights of growth and integrity:
Samit
Alpa
Kish.
And the next generation coming through.
with incredibly committed leadership like Declan too
A business many will study and try to emulate in the years ahead.
I am proud to be associated with them
