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.
