Round Table: Employee Equity Scheme

Employee ownership can be a powerful way to attract top talent, retain key people and align your team with the long-term success of your business. But setting up an equity scheme (and getting it right) takes more than good intentions.

Join Jon Dudgeon and Steve Robinson of Blu Sky for a lively, no-nonsense round table focused on the practicalities of employee equity. Jon brings the commercial, strategic lens while Steve brings the technical and compliance angle. Together, they’ll guide us through a real-world scenario that highlights the decisions, risks and opportunities that come with sharing ownership.

This session is all about clarity without the jargon, keeping things fast-paced, relevant and grounded in what really works for growing businesses.

Here’s what to expect:

A Straightforward Scene-Setter 
We’ll kick off with a practical overview of employee equity, from EMI schemes to growth shares, and why more businesses are exploring them.

A Walkthrough of a Real-World Scenario
Jon and Steve will share a realistic case study that highlights how employee equity works in practice, including key decision points and common pitfalls.

Open Conversation and Clear Takeaways
We’ll open the floor for Q&A and round-table discussion, then wrap with practical tips and next steps to explore if equity is right for your team.

This round table is ideal for business owners who want to reward and retain talent, build long-term value and understand the ins and outs of employee ownership without drowning in technical detail.

Expect straight answers, real examples and a fresh take on equity that works in the real world, all shared in a relaxed, confidential setting exclusively for entrepreneurs.
