Attraction Tickets has taken a significant step in strengthening its Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) governance with the appointment of Juliet Thorburn as the Chair of the EOT Board. With a distinguished career in human resources, governance, and employee ownership, Juliet brings a wealth of experience to guide the company’s employee-ownership journey.

A Leader in Employee Ownership

Juliet’s extensive background in employee engagement, remuneration strategy, and leadership development makes her a perfect fit for the role. She has served as an Independent Chair for other Employee Ownership Trusts, including Turnaround Publisher Services, where she played a crucial role in helping the Trust understand its responsibilities and align its mission with the company’s long-term success.

Her previous role as Group HR Director at Scott Bader Company Limited, a global employee-owned chemical manufacturer, further underscores her expertise in fostering inclusive leadership, cultural transformation, and governance structures that empower employees.

What This Means for Attraction Tickets

As a business committed to delivering exceptional travel experiences, Attraction Tickets has embraced the employee ownership model to enhance engagement, motivation, and long-term stability. Under Juliet’s leadership, the EOT Board will work to ensure that the company’s values align with the interests of its employees, fostering a transparent and collaborative culture where every team member feels invested in the company’s success.

Her appointment signals Attraction Tickets’ commitment to strong governance, fair pay structures, and long-term strategic planning, ensuring the EOT model benefits both employees and the business.

The Team Behind the Appointment

Juliet’s appointment was made possible through the collaboration of Russam’s Cathy Kay and Eddy Nsabue, who partnered with J Gadd Associates for this key hire. Russam has worked alongside J Gadd Associates on several EOT leadership appointments, demonstrating a shared commitment to finding the right leaders to drive employee-owned businesses forward.

Their expertise in executive search and governance-focused recruitment played a crucial role in identifying Juliet as the ideal candidate to support Attraction Tickets in its employee ownership journey.
