Do you have a Gluggle Jug? The iconic jug in the shape of a fish which makes a unique delightful gurgling sound when water is poured from it. It is a beloved product, and was even featured in an episode of The Great Pottery Throwdown earlier this year, where the potters discovered that creating a jug with a gluggle is not an easy task!
This week’s podcast guest fell in love with the Gluggle Jug when shown it by a friend she was having dinner with. Sophie Mahlo wanted to share her love for the jug, and went on to become distributor for the jug in Germany, then Europe and now owns the Gluggle Jug Factory itself. It’s a truly remarkable story of how a German lawyer ended up saving the jobs at a factory in Stoke On Trent, and helped the Gluggle Jug go from strength to strength.
Sophie shares her journey, how she manages a business from afar, how to scale the business whilst maintaining a healthy profit and the importance of valuing yourself, and paying yourself a decent wage. It is an utterly brilliant episode, and I can’t wait for you to listen!
