What effect does an organisation's ownership have on its approach to growth and its long term success in achieving it? We are interested in not just who has ownership, but how they own as well.
There is currently a lively debate around this issue and we’ve assembled three speakers with interesting and useful perspectives. Luke Mayhew, former MD of one of the country’s favourite employee owned retailers (now a non exec at a range of businesses owned in other ways).
