There’s a reason we’ve been called the ‘people’ people of EO. Or actually several reasons. But mainly it’s because we don’t ‘just’ enable you to make employee ownership work for your business. We also make EO work for your leaders, employee owners, representative bodies and trustees. It’s what J GADD ASSOCIATES LIMITED and Telos Partners do – whatever your sector or size, whatever your stage of EO. Want to know more? Check out our EO people services here 👇, get in touch at info@jgadd.co.uk and/or visit the JGA + Telos stand at the eoa conference 26-27 Nov. It’s 2024’s ‘go to’ event for EO and we’ll be there 🤗! #employeeowners #employeeengagement #employeeownership #employeeowned #trustees #successionplanning #leadershipdevelopment #coaching

Was this morning's session our best Trustee Connect ever? Possibly, but we'll leave it to those who were there to decide 🤔 ... It was certainly very lively with some fantastic questions, observations and challenges shared by those in the tough but incredibly important Employee Trustee role. A big thank you from our Associate Kathie Robb 👇 to all who took part, including Trustee Connect's very first guest speaker – Jim Smith, an Independent EOT Board Chair. Jim drew on his experience as Independent Trustee with the The Rooflight Co.'s Trust Board to share invaluable insight and reflections, plus answer questions on constructive ways to approach some of the issues Employee Trustees face. 'It was a fascinating meeting,' Kathie says. 'Many thanks to Jim for his candid and enlightening insight – and, as always, to all the Employee Trustees for their different perspective on what it's like to be part of a Trust Board.' Trustee Connect is JGA's insightful open forum for Employee Trustees who want to network, share best practice and explore common issues together in a friendly, confidential online space. It's ✨FREE✨ to Employee Trustees of clients who've been supported by JGA and/or Telos Partners. Interested? The next Trustee Connect is on Thurs 13 Feb 2025 at 9.30am.

Good to see our MD Jeremy making the most of his Tuesday in London to fit in a surprise catch-up with trusted EO connection Christian Wilson 😊. We love a bit of spontaneity in our working day! #employeeownership #employeeowned #london

‘Immediately we started working with JGA I felt I was in the hands of people who knew what they were doing. I’ve had a long business career and rarely do things happen this easily – they delivered maximum results with minimum disruption.’ A BIG thank you from us today to co-founder and MD Meriel Winwood for her kind feedback on how JGA supported HUE in its search for a high-calibre EOT Independent Trustee. Meriel used our EO independent trustee resourcing service, supported by our Associate Kathie Robb, together with executive search experts Russam and their Managing Partner Cathy Kay. We’re so happy Meriel was delighted with the outcome, unexpectedly securing not one but TWO independent trustee directors to appoint to the tech company's EOT and main company boards. Read more about Meriel's experience of using our service for HUE 👇 in our case study blog. And if you’re looking for the right independent trustee for your employee-owned business, please get in touch with Kathie and/or our MD Jeremy Gadd now to see how we can help. Alternatively, come and visit our stand at the eoa conference in Telford 26-27 November to find out more from the JGA and Telos Partners team. #employeeownership #employeeowned #governance #trustees #boardsofdirectors

Great to see our MD Jeremy Gadd getting out and about with both JGA and Telos Partners colleagues this month, adding value to clients with a range of ownership models including – those that are #employeeowned #successionplanning #employeeownership #governance

'Employee ownership is a good thing so everyone will get it'... 'EO only works in white-collar businesses'... 'It's not about the money'... Hmmm, not quite 🤔. Last month I shared this blog, busting my 5 'favourite' myths about EO. I did it (primarily) for founder/owners exploring EO as a succession option and those already on their way but feeling 'stuck'. As a set of five, they sparked some interesting chats with people I met in the days that followed, so I'm sharing them here again. See what you think. I've learned a lot in my 30+ years working in/with employee-owned companies – this continues today. I'm interested to know if anyone has any other EO myths it would be useful to bust? For me, demystifying EO – being clear about what it is and what it isn't – seems a good first step to making it work. #successionplanning #familybusiness #smes #employeeownership #employeeowned
