Three senior directors, led by managing director Stephen Harris, have taken over the running of the Macclesfield consultancy as founders Denise and Peter Emery step down.
The management buyout process was started in 2016 as the Emerys looked to pass on the business they founded in 1985.
Emery’s board is now led by three senior directors; Caroline Payne, Rawdon Gascoigne and Harris, who have each been with the firm for more than 15 years.
Also on the board are Ben Pycroft and John Coxon, both made directors in 2019, and Emma Bennion who has been promoted to operations director as part of the MBO.

The pair married in 1961 when Gordon was 21 and Cath 22 after courting for two years.

THE fabric of the historic Horwich Loco Works will live on at the East Lancashire Railway. Bricks from the recently-demolished Horwich Loco Works will journey to Bury to be used in a planned restoration of the ELR’s Buckley Wells locomotive and carriage works site. Developers transforming the loco works into a huge housing development donated the reclaimed bricks as part of their pledge to maintain the heritage and history of the Horwich Loco Works. The links between the loco works and the East Lancashire Railway are already strong as the railway still runs the iconic Crab locomotive, built for the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at Horwich in 1927.
