Alliance has grown significantly to a projected turnover of £130m in 2021 / 22. David Elder, Managing Director commented: “Alliance has always been particular about maintaining a long-term relationship with its customers and staff. To ensure that those values can be sustained, necessitated us taking a more progressive approach, and this has resulted in the transfer of the business to employee ownership. Often, the sale of a business results in significant disruption and change. We see this as a solid way of maintaining stability and to continue the growth and development of Alliance. We look forward to our employees sharing in the future success” Further adding “Prospects for future growth are looking exceptionally positive“ Chris Poston, Client Relationship Director and Group Board Director for Royce Peeling Green chartered accountants who advised Alliance on the EOT said: “The Directors considered a number of options for the future of the company, but concluded that the transfer of 100% ownership to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) was the best fit for the culture and ethos which has been built up within the company. The directors are confident that employee ownership will further facilitate the continued growth and development of the business and provide secure employment for the team.” The day to day management and running of the company will not be affected by the change. The current Directors will continue to run the business and a trustee board has been established to provide a corporate governance framework which will ensure that the EOT acts in the best interest of the employees.
