Employee Ownership Association Representation

Suzanne Graham, Middleton Hall’s Managing Director and Jeremy Walford,  Executive Chair and Founder Trustee, were proud to be featured panellists on an Employee Ownership Association discussion on Good Leadership in Employee Ownership.

The session included discussions on a variety of topics such as “What behaviours underpin good leadership in general”, “Ownership vs leadership– what’s the difference?”, and “Challenges associated with leadership succession.”

Middleton Hall Retirement Village became Employee Owned in 2019 providing greater opportunity to make a difference and be involved with the future direction of the company; to protect and preserve a people focused caring culture with clear values; to help communication and transparency, including knowledge about the performance of the company; and to allow Co-owners to influence the benefits and rewards that they receive.

Being Employee Owned is one of many benefits of working at Middleton Hall with roles throughout the village from care to the kitchen. You can see a full list of our vacancies on the “Join Us” section of our website.

You can view a YouTube recording of the EO Discussion below.
