This event will explore what “financial freedom” really means in an employee-owned business, how to manage expectations during the payment period, and the risks of becoming too focused on repaying the deal at the expense of long-term value.
Through honest discussion, we’ll share practical insights on motivating teams, balancing investment with repayment and planning for life beyond the transaction.

Are you an employee trustee or leader within a north west employee-owned business, or are you just curious about how employee ownership works? Join us for the next Employee Ownership Community Catalyst event - a relaxed, practical event design to help EO businesses connect, share experiences, and learn from others working through the same challenges.
This event is hosted by I-COM and Still We Grow, and created by the EO community for the EO community. Expect open conversation, useful insights, and plenty of time to meet other EO businesses across the region.
If you register now, you'll be the first to receive updates as they're released.

Gill Sherwin, Best of British BeerI wanted to come to the event today because we've just had such a positive experience of employee ownership and I think loads more companies should do it. So, we really wanted to come and share our story and also meet other companies because we don't really know that many who have gone down the same path as us.
