Focusing on this niche marketplace is the cornerstone of our company culture.<\/p>\n<p>The 28<sup>th<\/sup> of October 2024 was a significant day in our history that will ensure <strong>Rega<\/strong> continues long into the future and our strategy will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>On this day, <strong>Roy Gandy<\/strong> gifted 100% of his shares (full ownership) of the company to a <strong><em>Trust<\/em><\/strong> to protect <strong>Rega<\/strong> long into the future. This incredible gesture, of which <strong>Roy Gandy<\/strong> receives zero financial gain, has allowed <strong>Rega<\/strong> to become an <strong>Employee Ownership Trust<\/strong> (<strong><em>EOT<\/em><\/strong>). Becoming an <em>EOT<\/em> has many advantages, however, the main reason is to protect our culture and decades of hard work. Becoming an <em>EOT<\/em> prevents the company being sold and potential buyouts (by the dreaded investors) whilst providing all staff with job security going forward.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work and what will change? Nothing will change on a day-to-day basis; the <em>Trust<\/em> now owns <strong>Rega<\/strong> on behalf of all employees. The <em>Trust<\/em> does not take over the running of the company, although it will be involved in key decisions. All <strong>Rega<\/strong> employees become beneficiaries (this is called <em>Indirect Ownership<\/em>). <strong>Roy Gandy<\/strong> remains the sole Director and will continue to work in <em>R&amp;D<\/em> and sales, the two areas he enjoys the most.<\/p>\n<p>This level of employee empowerment will help maintain and further grow an already successful company and give continuity to our strong company values.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, these big changes ensure nothing will change and we can continue designing and manufacturing world beating, affordable hi-fi products by hand, here in the UK, safe in the knowledge <strong>Rega<\/strong> is protected for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>This is good news for Rega, but should be welcome news to our fantastic dealers, distributors, suppliers and loyal customers across the world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rega.co.uk\/news\/item\/the-future-of-rega-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.rega.co.uk\/news\/item\/the-future-of-rega-research<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An important change for Rega Research ltd. 08 November 2024 &#8211; Rega is recognised globally for producing high performance, affordable, two channel hi-fi, which lasts a lifetime.
