Sophie's media career began in a media agency in Edinburgh, followed by running events sponsorship for The Drum in Glasgow. A challenge from the MD of Metro newspaper to work there for 6 months led her to a move to the capital, where she ended up spending 16 years at Metro, lastly as Creative Director and Board Member.

She trained to be a yoga teacher and have a complete change of direction, but was tempted over to The Stylist Group instead because of her love of the brand since its launch.

After 5 years as Chief Marketing Officer, Sophie is now Managing Director, responsible for driving revenue and profit into the group through advertising, creative partnerships and events.
