EOT adviser in West London

Andrew Harrison – Procyon Consulting

Andrew is a senior strategic adviser with more than 25 years’ experience supporting agency and organisational leaders through growth, change and transition. Through Procyon Consulting, he works with business and practice leaders on strategy, team performance, operating models and preparation for sale.

Exit expertise

Andrew's advisory work is particularly well-suited to the consultancy and professional services sector – businesses where people are the product, culture is a core asset, and the right exit route needs to protect both. His experience spans business strategy, senior leadership support, agency operating models and exiting. Andrew brings a rounded view of what founders need to consider when thinking about their exit options, including employee ownership.

Leadership experience

Andrew spent many years as number two at Hanover Communications, playing a central role in the firm's growth from small beginnings to a 200-person EMEA consultancy with offices in London, Brussels, Dublin, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Here, he built a 60-person international healthcare policy and communications practice from scratch.

How Andrew works with Go EO

Andrew works alongside Go EO to support founders considering an EOT sale. Go EO handles the technical side of the transaction - valuation, legal documentation, tax clearance and trust registration. Andrew's role is the strategic layer: helping founders think through their options, prepare the business, and navigate the transition with a clear sense of direction.

Why work with an EOT adviser?

For consultancy and professional services founders in particular, the people and culture questions around an exit can matter as much as the financial ones. An EOT adviser helps founders think through whether employee ownership is the right route, what the transition will mean for the team, and how to approach the process in a way that protects what makes the business valuable. The right adviser brings both strategic and commercial perspective, helping founders make the decision with clarity and move through it with confidence.

What is an Employee Ownership Trust?

An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) is a way for a business owner to sell their company to their people. The founder's shares transfer to a trust, held collectively on behalf of the workforce, and the business repays the founder over time from future profits. Employees share in any surplus and the company keeps its independence, culture and identity intact.
