Invest Midlands 2022: Skin in the game – the rise of EOTs

Tom McCarthy, Barry Aldridge, Dave Hodgetts

This year’s Invest Midlands event will take place on Friday March 25 and is being curated by TheBusinessDesk.com and its sponsors becg, the University of Birmingham, Millennium Point and Phoenix Group.

We can now exclusively reveal this year’s packed agenda, which features high-profile speakers and panellists discussing everything from devolution to funding, and the war for talent to the Midlands towns and cities of the future.

Today, we take a look at what is sure to be another fascinating session: Skin in the game – the rise of EOTs.

According to the Employee Ownership Association, employee-owned businesses are more productive, more innovative, and more resilient to economic turbulence. Their people are also more engaged, more fulfilled, and less stressed. With 730 businesses in the UK currently employee owned, their economic contribution is already significant. We speak to Midlands companies who have made the leap.

Our panel includes:

Dave Hodgetts, CEO, Talbots Law
Tom McCarthy, Partner, Orbis Partners
Barry Aldridge, Marketing Manager, Flotec Industrial 

The full-day conference will be packed with insight, analysis and original research that will make it an inspiring and informative event that can’t be missed by anyone investing, working or innovating in the Midlands.
