The Employee Ownership Podcast


As the growth of employee ownership continues to accelerate, Co-operative Development Scotland has launched the first ever podcast series dedicated to the model.  Featuring the experiences of business owners who have already sold their companies to their staff, as well as expert insight from specialist employee ownership advisers and members of the legal and accounting profession, the series aims to raise awareness of the wide-ranging benefits that employee ownership can offer among those considering a move to the model.

The series has kicked off with an introductory episode featuring Dennis Overton, founder of employee-owned Aquascot and Chair of Scotland for Employee Ownership, with a further seven episodes set to be released on a weekly basis each Tuesday.
