"Going through the Eternal Business Programme meant that when we met with the lawyers many of the decisions were already taken saving us a lot in legal fees."
Chris Jordan, Director

"Can I say what an excellent piece of work the course is? It’s been absolutely invaluable in helping our transition to an EOT, particularly in winning “hearts and minds” of the team."
Perry Kerr, Owner
Bristol Business Centre
"After attending the Employee Ownership Association conference, we realise that the Eternal Business Programme has been absolutely invaluable in helping us to prepare and implement our succession plan and set up our employee ownership trust to provide the best future for our business."
Polly Grinnell, Managing Director

"We particularly found the cohort days to be of great benefit. The programme content made us address the important issues but discussing their practical application with other people going through the process proved invaluable."
Saran Allott-Davey, Director
Heron House Financial Management
"Thank you for the session, too often meetings with consultants are a waste of time. They know not whereof they speak, they pay little attention to the reality of the business and they are too set on their own models. But this seems to us to be entirely practical, wrought from experience and something that we could learn from."
