Entertainer boss hands business to workers

Gary Grant

The Christian entrepreneur Gary Grant, who established The Entertainer toy shop chain, has been widely praised for deciding to hand over ownership of his business to its 1,900 staff.

She said Grant and wife Catherine had “values other than profit as a result of their Christianity”.
