Leigh Christou Team take on Kenilworth Half Marathon 2025 for the Myton Hospice
Two of our team here at Leigh Christou have decided to run the Kenilworth Half Marathon on Sunday 7th September 2025, all in support of the Myton Hospice!
This year the race begins and ends in the heart Kenilworth Town Centre. One of the route's highlights is running through the iconic grounds of Kenilworth Castle, before venturing into the picturesque Warwickshire countryside and the race concludes back in Kenilworth Town Centre, where they will cross the finish line at the famous Clock Tower.
Our Ryan Kent and Matty Galland hope their training, through early morning runs in the height of the British summer, will help them complete the course and raise as much money as possible for the Charity, which offers compassionate end of life care and provides support to thousands of people and their families. Every penny raised helps keep their services free of charge to their patients and their loved ones, so please help us and show your support to our staff who are taking on this challenge. If you would like to make a donation, to this worthwhile cause and show your appreciation of Ryan and Matty’s hard work, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/page/leighchristouhalfmarathon - Thank you!
Masterclass – Talent Pipeline and Succession Planning: How Employee Ownership can safeguard the future of your business
The West Midlands Combined Authority held their Masterclass - Talent Pipeline and Succession Planning: How Employee Ownership can safeguard the future of your business on Tuesday 8th April in Leamington Spa.
Our Chris Christou was asked to speak at the event and he explained how employee ownership could safeguard the future of your business.
An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) is a trust that enables a company to become owned by its employees and can be set up by a company’s existing owners, perhaps as part of their exit/succession planning strategy, or by founders starting a new business which they wish to be employee-owned.
The company's owners sell their shares to the EOT, which then holds them for the benefit of the employees.
The EOT is governed by trustees, who represent the interests of the employees.
Should you wish to discuss whether this could be an option for you and your business, please do not hesitate to contact us.
