The Managing Director of Upton-based Sutcliffe Play has shared the company’s experience of becoming an employee-owned business at a parliamentary meeting.
Viv Jebson was invited to answer questions at the Employee Ownership All Party Parliamentary Group inquiry, held at Portcullis House.
Sutcliffe Play was among three top businesses including the John Lewis Partnership, invited to share information as ‘witnesses’. The information she provided will help to form the basis of a report to be published in May.
The report will set out the benefits of employee ownership, and Viv said she was more than happy to talk about her experiences at the meeting.
Viv comments: “It was a great opportunity to highlight the positives of such a switch. Sutcliffe Play’s employees are stakeholders and our success story since the company went into employee ownership underlines the validity of such a move.
“It was a great opportunity to hear from other company’s with similar experiences and, of course, I was delighted to act as an ambassador for all my colleagues at Sutcliffe Play, who have all worked with such professionalism and total commitment to make ours a success story.”
