Introducing Sophie McKimm, the new Event Director for StocExpo!

This month, we welcomed Sophie McKimm to the StocExpo team. She’s excited to dive into the world of tank storage and is looking forward to connecting with the industry. We caught up with her for a quick Q&A so you can get to know her better.

Hi Sophie! Welcome to the team! What are you most looking forward to in the role?

I am really looking forward to getting to know the community! I want to be part of the conversation for the future and the energy transition, and reflecting this on the StocExpo show floor with interesting suppliers.

If you were making your ideal work playlist, what are the top 3 songs that have to be on it?

Now I have a one and a two year old, I want to enjoy the peace and quiet of my own company, or fill the quiet time with conversations in the market!

Where and what did you study at university?

I studied Politics at the University of East Anglia.

If you could fly to any country tomorrow, where would you go and why?

My husband is a Chief Marine Engineer, and is currently in the Bahamas, so I would go and visit him.

What’s one thing you’re really passionate about outside of work?

I really believe in the power of team sports and spending time outdoors for mental wellbeing. As my children become older I am looking forward to becoming a coach and enjoying this with them.

If you could switch lives with someone for a day, who would it be?

I would switch lives with anyone enjoying a cocktail on a beach in the Maldives right now.

Is there a skill or area you’re excited to grow in while you’re working on StocExpo?

There are so many success areas of StocExpo I am excited to build on. The Robotics Zone that we launched with in 2025 has huge potential to bring new innovation to the show floor, I am keen to develop the conference programme to attract even more of the tank maintenance teams.

Where are you most looking forward to visiting in Rotterdam?

I have heard a lot about The Skihut…
