Must be true, there’s a statement on the website. Its Edward, son of Eddie the founder though. No fan of the organisation, but always sad to see none the less so sorry to hear it.

Also not a massive fan, but you can’t knock his accomplishments.
RIP Eddie
Like him or not 56 is no age to die RIP

the big un:

Agreed, to both comment’s
Didn’t he develop the haulage side of the company while his father continued with the other parts?
RIP Eddie
Whatever anyones personal opinons of the company, the man did well to get it up and running and then expand it
Sad to see him bowl out at 56 - few people will achieve his level of success over a 20 year period - though Stobart is still a lot smaler than Wincanton Logistics . R.I.P .
On the same day that Widnes Vikings got their Super League licence.
R.I.P. Eddie, our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I guess we can look forward to something like this then?
that would be a nice tribute so someone who had such a big effect on the haulage industry , whether people liked him or not you have to respect him for his achievements .
RIP Eddie , 56 is far too young
There will be a tribute this sunday at Wembley when Carlisle Utd play Brentford in the JPT Final, Stobart has been club sponsor for 16 years. Will affect this area more than others due to him being a local lad.
Slightly ironic that Eddie Stobart’s life was limited to 56. (I can’t claim credit for this joke, I stole it off twitter)
Oh, and RIP and so on.
He ran out of hours! And I will take the credit for that!
R.I.P. I have witnessed on several occasions the help and kindness Mr Stobart displayed to his workers and their families. Very sad news.
