Employee Ownership a Springboard for Growth

1 May 2025 Christopher Chetham Comments Off on Employee Ownership a Springboard for Growth
Happy man looking up

Springtime brings with it a feeling of growth, transformation, and new beginnings. Similarly, within the realm of business, employee ownership is rapidly emerging as a popular business model, pushing companies towards sustained growth and success.

Employee ownership represents a departure from traditional corporate structures, where ownership and decision-making are often concentrated in the hands of a select few. Instead, it empowers employees by granting them a stake in the company’s success, aligning their interests with those of the organisation.

This fundamental shift in ownership dynamics embraces a culture of collaboration, innovation, and accountability – key ingredients for driving positive change.

Companies undergoing the transition to employee ownership experience a period of growth and revitalisation. This transformation isn’t merely cosmetic; it runs deep, affecting every aspect of the organisation. Employees become more than just workers; they become owners with a weighted interest in the company’s performance and future trajectory.

There are numerous examples of businesses flourishing following the adoption of employee ownership.

Stephen Greenwood, CEO said “What sets these companies apart isn’t just their financial performance; it’s their ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive. Employee ownership has empowered them to reinvent themselves, making the most of the collective wisdom and ingenuity of their workforce to navigate challenges and seize opportunities”

Essentially, employee ownership serves as a springboard for growth for various factors, offering companies the opportunity to renew themselves from within. As we embrace the spirit of renewal that comes with springtime, let us also recognise the transformative potential of employee ownership in shaping a brighter future for both businesses and their employees.

Davos 2015 to Today – Why Employee Ownership’s Moment Has Arrived

26 January 2026 Emma Williamson Comments Off on Davos 2015 to Today – Why Employee Ownership’s Moment Has Arrived

Eleven years ago, I was privileged to speak in Davos about the potential of Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) and the structure of the John Lewis Partnership, at a time when EOTs were seen merely as an emerging, almost experimental, idea. The conversation was an investigation of the novelty and difference of ownership models that could help rebuild trust, resilience and long-term value in our economies.

The Right to Request Employee Ownership

8 December 2025 Emma Williamson Comments Off on The Right to Request Employee Ownership

Employees have the right to ask their employer to consider employee ownership through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This request is not a legal demand, but a legitimate, professional and increasingly recognised conversation. Employers are encouraged to consider and respond to the request, and employees should expect respectful dialogue. The Right to Request supports fair work, good employment and long-term business continuity.

6 things founders get wrong about exits

12 November 2025 Emma Williamson Comments Off on 6 things founders get wrong about exits

Exiting your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Get it wrong, and years of hard work can vanish in a single deal. Get it right, and you can create wealth, dignity, and opportunity for the people who helped you build it.
