It’s all about the people

Employee ownership done right can change the lives of both selling owners and the whole team taking the business forward.

Introducing EO is a transition not a transaction. It brings change that will affect everyone. The change can be incredibly positive but delivering EO benefits and avoiding business disruption needs buy-in from everyone.

We design transitions that are right for selling owners and excite the leaders and teams who remain. We offer best practice learning and training that empowers senior managers, Trustees and Councils to turn on EO and drive future business success.

Our Story

Going through the Eternal Business Programme meant that when we met with the lawyers many of the decisions were already taken saving us a lot in legal fees.

— Chris Jordan

Director, Heron House Financial Management

Can I say what an excellent piece of work the course is? It’s been absolutely invaluable in helping our transition to an EOT, particularly in winning “hearts and minds” of the team.

— Perry Kerr

Owner, Bristol Business Centre

After attending the Employee Ownership Association conference, we realise that the Eternal Business Programme has been absolutely invaluable in helping us to prepare and implement our succession plan and set up our employee ownership trust to provide the best future for our business.

— Polly Grinnell

Managing Director, Double Retail

We particularly found the cohort days to be of great benefit. The programme content made us address the important issues but discussing their practical application with other people going through the process proved invaluable.

— Saran Allott-Davey

Director, Heron House Financial Management

Thank you for the session, too often meetings with consultants are a waste of time. They know not whereof they speak, they pay little attention to the reality of the business and they are too set on their own models. But this seems to us to be entirely practical, wrought from experience and something that we could learn from.
