Trust Deed Scotland becomes Employee Owned

LEADING personal insolvency firm Harper McDermott Ltd, one of the largest providers of Protected Trust Deeds and Debt Payment Plans under the Debt Arrangement Scheme in Scotland is embarking on an exciting future after transferring to employee ownership in a transaction led by business advisers Grant Thornton UK LLP.

The Glasgow-based company trades as Trust Deed Scotland® which since 2009, has helped more than 25,000 people resolve their problem debt. The Trust Deed Scotland brand was founded by Mark Sommerville and Jon Paul Kelly and is the best-known provider of Protected Trust Deeds in Scotland. It has more 5 Star TrustPilot reviews than all other Trust Deed providers combined with over [reviews] 5 Star reviews from Scottish customers.

The business is currently managing debt solutions for over 9,000 customers with £234m of debts under management, and a team of around 70 people – who are all now part-owners of the business – led by Managing Director and Insolvency Practitioner, Thomas Fox.

Thomas Fox said: “I am delighted to have become a part-owner in the business alongside our knowledgeable and experienced team, who I believe provide a best-in-class service to our customers.”

We are all looking forward to the future with excitement and confidence and to helping many more people deal with their debt issues in a practical and compassionate manner.”

“Employee ownership provides many benefits; from existing staff retention through to attracting the best talent, it gives our team job security and brings us closer together as one team all working towards similar goals.”

“I am very grateful to the Grant Thornton team for leading us through this transition with such dedication and diligence.”

Neil McInnes, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance in Scotland at Grant Thornton said:

“We have been working with the business to help them consider the range of strategic options open to them.”

“Ultimately the best option for all stakeholders was to move to employee ownership via an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), which gives the entire team a stake in its future success and provides a great incentive for staff loyalty.”

“We wish Thomas and the whole team at Harper McDermott every success in the future.”

Neil was assisted in the transaction by Akshay Sharma and the firm’s dedicated EOT team led by Monique Beaulieu and supported by Ollie Dewdney, which provide a holistic end-to-end service advisory service to businesses transitioning to employee ownership.

In-House Team – We don’t sell your details on. You will remain with Trust Deed Scotland® from the moment that you make your first enquiry until after you have been successfully discharged.

Some websites that you find on Google, social media and elsewhere are known as lead generators. This means that you may be passed from pillar to post and whilst the GDPR has resulted in better data protection all round, there are a number of companies who will use your details for their own end, and the companies that they work with ultimately concentrate on the solutions that result in more money for themselves.

Trust Deed Scotland® pride ourselves on providing balanced debt advice that explains the risks and benefits of Trust Deeds, the pros and cons of the Debt Arrangement Scheme and the advantages and disadvantages of any other alternative solution you may qualify for.

We’re aware of other organisations who use pushy sales tactics, we’re also aware of a number of copycat companies pertaining to be Trust Deed Scotland

Over [reviews] 5 Star Reviews – More than anyone else in our industry, we’ve collected on the independent reviews platform Trustpilot. The reviews that we’ve curated highlight in our client’s own words, the type of service that we’ve given them, and how the solutions have impacted their lives.

We understand that there still is a stigma attached to being in debt and that it can be difficult to take the first steps of asking for help.

Therefore whenever anyone leaves us a review, not only does this indicate that we’ve provided an ‘excellent’ service which we’re immensely proud of but it also helps to display a level of trust bestowed upon us by individuals who were in a similar position to anyone who is still considering if Trust Deeds are legit.

Adding fees and charging you for debt advice doesn’t help you and doesn’t sit right with us. We’ll always have your best interests at heart.

70% Debt Write Off Possible – Affordable monthly repayments are one of the biggest advantages to both Trust Deeds and the Debt Arrangement Scheme, and by using our Trust Deed Wizard tool and calculating fair expenses, we are able to reduce the amount that our clients repay every month.

Glasgow City FC Trust Deed Scotland

The Trust Deed Scotland Foundation have been working with Glasgow City FC and their recent Boot Sponsorship initiative.

As part of the initiative, u15s NP player Kaylin Winchester will receive boots for the upcoming season.

The Glasgow-based organisation based at Petershill Park in Glasgow, were founded in 1998 and are an amateur club who depend on sponsorship and partnerships.

As well as an adult women’s team dominating their domestic league and performing admirably in European competition, Glasgow City FC have a number of youth teams competing in categories from as young as under 9’s training across the city.

Why Funding Amateur Sports In Scotland Matters

It is widely believed that participation in sport creates economic and social impacts on society that extend beyond the behavioural changes experienced by individuals taking part. Scotland has over 13,000 sports clubs, 900,000 members and almost 200,000 people dedicated to volunteering in sport. As well as fun and enjoyment, sports clubs bring great benefits to people and society.

Trust Deed Scotland is delighted to support the expansion of Scotland’s sports clubs through support for volunteering, accessible facilities and funding to enable more women, minority ethnic communities and disabled people to participate.

Research shows that 1 in 5 people are living in relative poverty. John Dickie of the Child Poverty Action Group in Scotland wrote “As s time slips by, childhoods slip by, childhoods blighted by the simple fact their families just don’t have the money they need to give their children a decent start in life.

“These aren’t just statistics. These are children going hungry, missing out on school trips, unable to enjoy the activities and opportunities their better-off peers take for granted. These are parents going without meals, juggling debt and seeing their own health suffer to protect their children from the poverty they face”.

Cambuslang Colts Sponsored By Trust Deed Scotland

As part of our Trust Deed Scotland Foundation charity, we were recently delighted to sponsor the local youth football team, Cambuslang Colts 2005s.

The team – who play in the Glasgow and District Youth Football league – was established by Chairman Danny Griffin in 2007.

Danny Griffin, who is also a referee for the Scottish Football Association, set up Cambuslang Colts FC to give children and young adults in the local area, a chance to play football and enjoy activities that help to keep their hearts and minds focused on positivity.

Danny said:

“As a club, we try to do things as cost-effective as possible, so that the parents aren’t paying over the odds for their children to play football.

Our sponsors allow us to help families that may not be able to afford kit otherwise. So many families in Scotland live under the menace of poverty and it’s with immense pride that we’re able to give the community something back.

At Christmas, we also try to give back to those in the local community struggling financially through the food bank.”

The young team’s sponsors help to provide free match, training and waterproof kits as well as social trips for the children

Throughout the season, the team enjoys trips to places like Manchester City, Ibrox Stadium, Celtic Park Stadium, Hampden, Craig Tara, Broadwood Stadium, the home of Clyde FC, Skegness and even Barcelona.

The team was surprised with their new Trust Deed Scotland football strips at their first tournament in Strathaven last week where they placed third. Well done lads – best of luck in your upcoming games!

Yorkhill Children’s Charity

Trust Deed Scotland advisor, Lorna Carson, departs on the Sunday 23rd of August 2015 with five others for a mammoth undertaking in aid of Yorkhill Glasgow Children’s Charity. Cycling from London to Barcelona, (665km/1040 miles), in just ten days, they aim to raise £24,000 for the charity. The Trust Deed Scotland team had a bake sale in our office to help her reach her target.

Yorkhill Glasgow Children’s Charity raises money for the Royal Hospital for Children which treat 160,000 children every year.

The funds raised by the Glasgow based-charity, amongst other things, go towards medical equipment, family support and hiring some of the most skilled medical professionals in the industry.

One of our staff members who has first-hand experience of the Royal Hospital for Children said,

“The staff and doctors at Yorkhill Glasgow Children’s Hospital helped me through a tremendously difficult period when both of my children were ill at different points in my life. One of my daughters was diagnosed with an extremely rare bone disease after years of doctor’s visits with no diagnosis.

The other suffered and almost died from pneumonia when she was barely seven months old. I think if it wasn’t for the extreme professionalism of the doctors and nurses at Yorkhill, I may well not have my daughter today. The doctors and nurses sometimes go unrecognised and charities and fundraisers like this bring them to the forefront of everybody’s mind.”

Our bake sale attracted the other companies in the building, who gave generously in return for their fill of the many cakes our enthusiastic home bakers had prepared.

Once we counted the proceeds, we were very pleased to discover we had raised a fantastic £1,066.53!

After all the excitement was over and no one could possibly manage another mouthful, we were left with several boxes of cakes and biscuits. One of the company directors and a staff member took the goodies down to the Glasgow City Mission, a charitable organisation in Glasgow that helps vulnerable, homeless or poverty-stricken people and provides dinner to an average of 160 people each night. They sent us a lovely thank you letter on behalf of the homeless residents who enjoyed the cakes with their dinner.

Trust Deed Scotland receive thank you letter for charity donation to homeless shelter.

The thank you letter the Glasgow City Mission sent Trust Deed Scotland.
