West Midlands Business Festival

Ownership Matters

11 February 2026 | 14:00 to 15:00
Location: Online Event

Finance & Professional Services

Join Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP for a fireside chat with former owner and Managing Director Nick Coley of Fitzgerald Contractors, the leading Birmingham engineering business that transitioned to employee ownership in February 2022.

He will be joined by another employee-owned business to share real-world experiences and insights.

Together, we’ll explore why more organisations are considering employee ownership, compare alternative succession options, and walk through what the transition process looks like in practice.

We’ll also discuss the medium-term impact on culture, performance, and the future direction of the business.

The session will be hosted by David Alcock, Partner and Head of Social Business at Anthony Collins, alongside our event partners.
