Wrigleys advise WAVE on transition to employee ownership

14 December 2020

Wheatlands Aire Valley Engineering Limited (WAVE) puts in place new employee ownership trust.

We are delighted to confirm that we have recently completed another employee ownership matter, having advised family owned business Wheatlands Aire Valley Engineering from its  owners James and Joanne Bailey on a transition to employee ownership by way of an employee ownership trust with WAVE EOT Limited as corporate trustee.

WAVE is a leading company in the refrigeration and industrial cooling sector – providing independent and impartial design, project support, technical trouble shooting and consultancy services.

This comes at an exciting time for employee ownership matters as Wrigleys has just taken part in the Employee Ownership Association's EO Boost event and we look forward to being able to advise many more clients on the move to employee ownership going forward.
