The motion
That this House notes the change in ownership of The Entertainer, the largest toy retailer in the UK with 150 outlets, having grown from one small shop in Amersham in 1981; recognises that the founders Gary and Catherine Grant adopted a Christian outlook in their business, donating 10% of its annual profits to charity; acknowledges the recent move by the founders to an employee ownership trust; and wishes the Grant family good wishes for the future, expressing the hope that the business will, even under the new ownership model, recognise the success that the style and principled stance the founders adhered to as it proved so successful even in an increasingly secular era.
