“The transition of ownership of the business from the Founder Shareholders to the employees, was definitely the right move for Vibe as our employees and community are extremely important to us. I had been speaking to RVE for a while about exit options and was very pleased I chose RVE to advise on the Employee Ownership Trust transaction. Gerry and his team were very professional."
— Paul Harris, Founder of Vibe Teacher Recruitment Ltd, London.
“All of the team at RVE really went the extra mile to deliver a very successful transition and I am most extraordinarily grateful for your efforts.”
— Martin Wise, Managing Director of Fudge Kitchen Group Ltd, Lyminge, Kent.
“The employee buy-out fitted my objectives perfectly – me and Dorn sold 80% of our shares to the Employee Ownership Trust (tax free) and retained 20% for future sale, and I will continue to work actively in the business until my planned retirement in a few years’ time. Gerry Young at RVE did a great job advising me on the transaction and I would be happy to recommend him to other business owners in a similar situation”
— Andy Kipping, Founder of Image Creation Ltd, Beaconsfield, Bucks.
