Who runs it
Comrie Croft describes itself as a certified B Corp owned by fifty local people, employees, family and friends, and as a family of twelve collaborating nature-based micro-enterprises employing more than forty people between them. It says a transition to a new governance and ownership structure, probably an Employee Ownership Trust, is planned.
