Laura Ashley Share Scheme

Before Laura Ashley went public the Company produced a video which was circulated amongst the employees to explain the procedure on how they could purchase shares in the Company. If you signed up to become a shareholder, as a gift, you would receive £50 worth of free shares. If you bought extra shares, the Company would match it one to one. In 2020 the Company went into liquidation and the shares are now referred to as being worthless. It is most unfortunate that several former employees still own thousands of pounds worth of shares which demonstrates the trust, respect and loyalty they had for Laura Ashley.

So sad… I worked for Laura Ashley and considered her to be one of the kindest and most caring employer. I opened the third shop in the U.S. in 1979.. After her death, it appears her husband "shafted' the employees.
