It took a little while, but we have finally completed the process of becoming an Employee Owned Trust. This has not made an enormous difference to the day-to-day operations, except for more formally recognising Mike, Lucy and Will as directors of the company. Our clients should expect, and will receive, the same high quality of work as ever.
This marks a big change for our founder, Bobby Bazalgette, who can finally hang up his welly boots of authority, and head off into the hills on his e-bike. Well, to be honest, he was pretty much doing that already! Bobby will remain on the board of trustees however, so no doubt he will continue to pass on pearls of wisdom.
As Bobby says
“Solar Wheel was borne out of my passion and knowledge of the renewables industry, and over the years I have passed that onto my team. Now it’s time for them to pick up the mantle and run with it and for Solar Wheel to go from strength to strength.”
There has been plenty of press coverage of the event!
