Succession planning is one of the biggest challenges many business owners face — and an increasing number across Northern Ireland are finding the solution in employee ownership.
Employee Ownership Ireland is hosting two free roadshows this October to showcase how selling a business to employees can create a secure, sustainable future for both the company and its workforce. One of these events will be held right here in Omagh at the Strule Arts Centre.
Why Attend?
At these sessions, you’ll hear how the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model is transforming succession planning across the UK, and how it might work for your business or your clients.
The agenda includes:
-
Andrew Harrison, Co-ownership Solutions LLP, explaining the EOT model and the benefits of employee ownership.
-
Karen Maguire, Chair of Employee Ownership Ireland, on how they support businesses and advisers exploring this option.
-
First-hand insights from local EOT directors and trustees who have already made the transition.
-
Information on Department for the Economy feasibility study funding available to help businesses explore employee ownership.
-
Networking opportunities with advisers and fellow business leaders.
