\"\"<\/a>Classic Motor Cars Ltd, a classic car restoration company in England, has been given to the employees by its owner. The company employs more than sixty staff members and had revenue over \u00a35.2 million last year.<\/p>\n

Peter Neumark, who has owned and chaired the company since its inception in 1993, said, “I am nearer seventy than sixty and Nick Goldthorp, who founded this great business with me and has been largely responsible for where we are today, is now approaching retirement age, so we felt we had a duty to oversee a passing of responsibility, and who better than the workforce themselves.”<\/p>\n

Classic Motor Cars Ltd has become an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), which means that the staff will own and run the business themselves. So on Friday 26th of August 2016, a majority shareholding owned by the chairman was transferred into a new entity The Classic Motor Cars Ltd Employee Shareholder Trust, thereby passing control to a trust set up for the benefit of the employees of CMC.<\/p>\n

Peter Neumark added: \u201cThis sort of structure best exemplified by the John Lewis Partnership was deemed to be the best home for the company to ensure its future, safeguarding the jobs of its highly skilled workforce and providing stability for future growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n

“Virtually every example of an EOT business we looked at showed greater profitability, greater productivity, better staff retention and ultimately of course happier customers. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved and I look forward to watching the company continue to set the standards for world-class car restoration.”<\/p>\n

Tim Leese, Managing Director of the new operational board, said: \u201cThese are very exciting times and the whole team is very grateful for Peter\u2019s generosity and everyone looks forward to making a greater contribution to the company\u2019s future success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day-to-day management of the business will be controlled by an operational board, chaired by David Barzilay and comprising of Managing Director Tim Leese, Production Director Tim Griffin, non-execs Nick Goldthorp and Richard Charlesworth (latterly of Bentley).<\/p>\n

They in turn will report to a board of trustees who are responsible for the good governance of the company and ensuring it is run in the best interests of its beneficiaries, the employees. The board of trustees is composed of outside professionals, chaired by Peter Neumark with an employee trustee, Luke Martin, voted on by his fellow workers, and former non-exec operational board member Richard Coe.<\/p>\n

Currently the company is working on more than 22 classic car restorations including marques such as, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Lancia, amongst others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
