What our clients say

“The Employee Ownership Wales team at Cwmpas were an invaluable source of help and support at the beginning of our journey to becoming Wales' first cooperatively owned dental practice, and throughout the process thus far. We believe our experience will become a model for sustainable healthcare practices in the future”.

“Thanks to the Employee Ownership Wales Team we were able to strike a balance between succession planning and practical implementation to fulfil our aim of facilitating a seamless transition to employee ownership. The valuable support they provided has resulted in continuous growth for the company whilst also creating a market for company shares.”

“The Employee Ownership Wales team is great – I don’t think we’d even have known where to start without their input. They helped us establish that the trust model was the best way forward for us, and really helped us with putting initial procedures in place. Their guidance through the whole process was invaluable.”

"When I met Paul Cantrill from Cwmpas, he told me about EOTs and how it works and I thought, what’s not to like about this? It is a great way to continue the collaborative way we run the business and ensure a fair and equitable transition of ownership, it was very attractive to me and my principals".

"We are now massive advocates for EOTs and using this business model we hope to expand and make Hoop one of the largest independently owned business in Wales and create a business that we are even more proud of, a business that gives back as much as it can to its clients and staff alike".
Paul Lewis, Hoop Recruitment

"The EOT is a progressive business model for us, rather than an exit plan for me personally. I want to thank Cwmpas for all the support with the transition too, from the start of the process to completing it – it has been seamless".

"Whilst we were aware of EOTs, we didn’t completely understand the process until our conversations began properly with Cwmpas. Branwen made the whole process so straightforward. She’s been with us every step of the way answering our endless questions and helping our team understand what it means to them and how they will be able contribute. I’m not sure we would’ve known where to start without her support and we are very grateful".

"I have been delighted to work with Cwmpas, who have advised and steered us every step of the way in setting up Archway Veterinary Centre as an employee owned business, to hold shares on behalf of current and future employees and ensure the future of the practice is in safe hands".
Andrea Reynolds, Archway Vets

"There’s no one that knows the business better than the staff, so it makes sense to keep the legacy in their hands. This EOT is just a reflection of how we want to operate as a business, and I’m really pleased to have made it happen alongside Cwmpas".
Nick Miller, Miller Research
Nick Miller, Miller Research
"The formation of the EOT is a major step change in the development of this company, and one of the most exciting since its incorporation over twenty-six years ago. It will allow our staff, and our future staff, to feel even more connected to the company as they will have a real stake in the success of the business. They can all take pride in knowing that they are shareholders that are building for the future".
