Julia Meighan – who served as CEO and shareholder of VMA GROUP from 2003 until 2019 when Andrew Harvey became CEO and she moved to the position of Chair – has been instrumental in shaping the company’s success over the years. Her leadership and dedication have been a driving force behind VMA GROUP’s growth and reputation in the industry.
“We are thrilled to announce this transition to an employee ownership trust,” said Meighan. “For 45 years, our people have been at the heart of our success and this exciting move solidifies our commitment to them.”
“I am delighted to continue to lead VMA GROUP through this transition from private ownership to EOT,” commented Andrew Harvey, CEO. “We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to Julia both for her tenure as owner of the business and for now giving its employees the opportunity to be masters of their own success.”
