Geldards host Wales Employee Ownership Conference
Geldards, one of the leading legal advisors on Employee Ownership Trusts, is delighted to host the Wales Employee Ownership Conference on Thursday 11th June at Cardiff City Stadium.
Returning for the second year running due to popular demand, Geldards along with partners Azets, RBC Brewin Dolphin and Thomas Carroll are hosting the conference which champions the employee ownership movement across Wales.
The popular one day conference brings together businesses considering Employee Ownership and companies which have already become employee owned, offering advice and expertise from those firms who have completed the EO journey. With guest speakers from Geldards, Azets, RBC Brewin Dolphin and Thomas Carroll, industry experts will be on hand to support companies considering the next steps for Employee Ownership.
More and more businesses are realising the benefits of moving to an Employee Ownership Trust model as an effective means of succession planning. Transferring ownership of the business to its employees by means of a trust, safeguards the heritage and legacy of a company and rewards employees who have contributed to the success of the business. According to the Employee Ownership Association there are over 2,500 EO businesses in the UK to date, testament to the benefits of increased staff commitment and improved profitability and company stability.
Geldards is a leading authority on Employee Ownership Trusts, having advised numerous businesses on becoming employee owned and supporting the employees throughout the process. A variety of discussion panels will take place throughout the Conference covering topics including; EOT Valuation, Insurance, Funding, Succession Planning, Incentivising staff and embedding an EO Culture. Practical sessions will provide information and advice for businesses alongside a real life case study from PBShop who transitioned to an EOT structure almost seven years ago.
Andrew Evans, Partner commented:
“The conference will be an ideal opportunity to hear from a range of speakers on topics specific to the EO sector and is aimed at trustees and employees from new and existing employee owned businesses. All the speakers have specific EO industry experience.”
