Listen "Female Founder Karen Sells Up To Staff"
Episode Synopsis
Karen Maguire doesn't do the expected or routine. She wouldn't have decided to set up her own manufacturing business if she did. She wouldn't have grown it, with much personal sacrifice, through lean years and tough times if she had only been half-committed. She was all-in. Until the death of her father in 2017 shook her world and she decided her business should belong to someone else. But who? Again, she took the path less travelled and sold up to her employees under the Employee Ownership Trust scheme. As she eases herself out of the business, and into a new venture teaching pilates (just doing it was clearly not enough), she tells her remarkable story. Hosted on Acast.
