Event agency Red Blaze has transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) and announced changes to its management team to better align with the new structure.

This means that the business is now owned by the employees, giving the team a direct stake in the success of the company.

With the creation of the EOT, Gaby Pugh, who has been with the business for over seven years, has been appointed managing director.

Stephen Pope will remain in the business as founder director with a lesser involvement in the day-to-day business, providing support for Pugh as she takes on the new role as well as working with the team to expand the agency’s portfolio of clients.

Peter Jackson has stepped down as a statutory director of Red Blaze Limited to become a trustee of the Red Blaze Trust, which is the vehicle that will hold the shares of Red Blaze Limited for the benefit of its employees.

“For years, our company has been built on teamwork, dedication, and a shared passion for delivering excellence, whether it be a client retreat, incentive travel programme, or corporate social responsibility,” the agency said in a statement.

“As we looked to the future, we wanted to ensure that these values remained at the heart of our business. By transitioning to an EOT, we are securing long-term stability, rewarding our team’s hard work, and fostering an even greater sense of commitment and collaboration.”
