Client story
Jeremy talking about cats
Having chosen an EOT as their succession plan, the co-founders of an international award-winning animation studio wanted to ensure their legacy and success could continue after they stepped back.
Jeremy helped them design and implement a successful employee ownership transition plan, including the creation – and facilitation – of key EO representative groups and engagement programmes to support the delivery of the new model.
‘It really eased the burden having [Jeremy’s] wealth of knowledge to draw from,’ recall the co-founders.
‘We were able to pre-empt (and avoid) common pitfalls and … thanks to [his] deep expertise and insight, the whole process was wrapped up within a year of making the announcement to our employees.’
