On this episode of Confessions of an Agency Owner I welcome James Leavesley, CEO of Torchbox.
When James joined Torchbox it was owned by two founders Olly and Tom. Their exit strategy was a little different to the norm. They didn't plan to sell to a third party but to hand the keys over to their team through an Employee Owned Trust.
James found himself in a position as CEO where his job was to not only to manage the business but also lead it through a pretty major transition and help the team understand what this meant for them.
I was keen to find out more about how an Employee Owned Trust works and what it was like to go through that process.
Have a listen!
