Clear Marketing moves to full employee ownership as founder steps down

“The agency is incredibly proud of its relationships, many of which span over ten years; it was clear that the Employee Ownership Trust approach was the right approach for all, providing security for the team and clients with the continuity with which they are accustomed.

“As Clear Marketing’s twentieth anniversary fast approaches it feels like a fitting time for me to step down. It is with immense pleasure that I hand over the reins to Gemma, Elaine and Martin, under whom I know the business will continue to flourish.”

Managing Director Gemma Stirling, added: “The business’s strong and established retained client relationships have undoubtedly helped us weather the Covid storm and ensured that we’ve maintained profitability. Our original timeframe for completing the sale was five years, so to do it in less than three is a really proud moment. 

“It’s a really exciting time for us going into 2022 as we fully embrace our employee ownership ethos and put plans in place to ensure we’re around for another twenty years to come.  It’s a privilege to be driving the new Clear into the next stage of our development.”
