Ten to follow John Lewis with Employee Benefit Trust set up
Ten Insurance is set to follow in the footsteps of John Lewis and set up an Employee Benefit Trust (EPT) over the coming weeks.
Insurance Age can reveal that the network for independent commercial brokers has already joined the Employee Ownership Association (EOA) as part of the first stage of the move.
The EBT will be vested with 6,500 shares which will be owned by the trust and managed by five trustees.
Speaking to Insurance Age, James Sharp, Ten director, said: "This has been in our minds for some years, we have been working our way towards this.
"The aim is that by the time I retire the company will be owned by its staff and members."
He continued: "We believe that it will be very attractive, a pull factor, for brokers to join a network owned by the staff and members. It's altruistic but also practical."
Mechanism
Sharp also revealed that Ten hopes to set up a Shareholder Investment Plan (SIP) once the EBT is underway to allow individual members of staff to buy their own shares in the network.
The target is that eventually the network will be 50% owned by the EBT, 25% by the SIP and 25% by members. Sharp added that the network is currently working on a mechanism to ensure that members will soon be able to buy in.
Meanwhile, Malcolm Lee, Ten managing director, explained: "We're all proud of being part of something that we view as unique in the insurance market - something akin to the John Lewis of the insurance industry. We've built our network based on honesty, mutual respect and encouragement.
"I truly believe that taking this step can only support our future growth plans."
He noted: "We would never entertain the idea of selling ourselves to a consolidator. Our members understand our commitment - it's one of the reasons they join us rather than any of our competitors - but each of Ten's directors wanted to take the next step to reaffirm this commitment not only to our members, but to the market as a whole."
Fast-growing
And Iain Hasdell, EOA chief executive, added: "There are many more employee owned firms than people think and we're delighted to welcome Ten Insurance Services to our fast growing association.
"Employee-owned firms are becoming increasingly important to the UK economy, particularly as there is strong evidence that shows they outperform ‘conventionally' owned companies."
