Baxi is helping to finance an employee-owned company which started as a
worker buyout of a failed company. They have about 100 employees and
are engineering-manufacturers.
I am also copying to Cairns Campbell, who founded the Scottish
Co-operative Development Committee back in the 1970s. I think he
organised over 20 rescue buyouts as worker co-ops.
