Baxendale is a specialist management consultancy with an industry-leading specialism in employee ownership and ownership cultures. We specialise in employee ownership and engagement, supporting clients to reimagine, transform and grow their organisations.
Over 20 years, we’ve helped more than 100 businesses to become employee owned. We provide whatever our clients need for their EO journey. Some organisations request the full suite of services needed in a transition, including legal, tax and engagement support. Others come to us for advice on particular issues or challenges, such a trustee composition or governance review.
We also work closely with public service mutuals, and help deliver the government’s Mutuals Support Programme, launched to create new mutuals and grow existing ones. Our wider consulting offer includes helping organisations to form growth strategies, redesign services, win contracts and more – to help them thrive now and in the future.
And we practice what we preach. We’ve been employee owned since 1983 and we’ve been named a ‘Leading Management Consultancy’ by the Financial Times: for ‘People & performance’ and ‘Innovation, growth & new business models’.
Unrivalled support and guidance for businesses that are, or want to become, employee owned or worker co-operatives. Fixed fee structure and access to full services legal support.
The Co-ownership Solutions story is a simple one. We passionately believe that employee ownership and worker co-operative models provide a better and fairer way of doing business. We want to help form more of them and help develop existing co-owned businesses.
We don’t do ‘one size fits all’ or impose a prescribed ideological solution.
We focus on delivering solutions that suits our clients’ specific needs. Our team works with business owners, boards of directors and employees to design and develop employee ownership models and governance structures that suit your specific circumstances, history, culture and future vision.
Supported by leading legal firm, Blake Morgan LLP, we offer clients a capped fee structure and our clients tell us that we deliver exceptional service and have unmatched expertise – feel free to ask them.
We are experts in employee ownership structuring covering the full range of legal and tax advice in relation to employee buyouts and succession planning.
Fieldfisher is a market leading practice with deep expertise in and experience of employee ownership.
