Mr. Dixon said, “Since Hatmill was founded 12 years ago, the company’s growth and success have been beyond my wildest dreams. It is such a proud moment to hand over Hatmill.
“Moving ownership into the hands of my great team ensures that Hatmill’s ‘Teal’ culture and values live on. This was one of the most important factors for me as I considered a next chapter for the company.
“It’s a key differentiator between Hatmill and our competitors. Our customers value the difference it makes to them. It affects our ability to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. I firmly believe that this next chapter is a Company owned by employees. ” is just a reward for the hard work and talent of our brilliant team.
“Owning employees means maintaining and building on our unique culture. Creating a great workplace is fundamental to my business principles and I look forward to the next leg of Hatmill.”
Hatmill was advised by Phil Southern at the FD Center and Anna Haworth and Martin Cooper at the RSM.
