Lumea

EOTTrustees.co.uk is proud to support the trustees of Lumea, helping them discharge their duties with strong governance and compliance, clear decision-making and documentation, and effective communication with employee beneficiaries.

Founded in 2001 by Alexander Muirhead, Lumea is a leading supplier of premium tabletop lighting to the hospitality sector. It is best known for its innovative Liquid Wax Candles, which offer a safer, cleaner and longer-lasting alternative to traditional options. With a strong reputation for quality and reliability, the business has delivered consistent profitability and is well positioned for further growth, supported by the launch of a new LED lamp range in 2026.

Alex Muirhead selected an Employee Ownership Trust as a values-aligned succession solution, preserving the company’s values, rewarding a loyal team and ensuring the business is future-ready under employee ownership.

The Trustees role is to support the Directors in a way that combines timely, well-recorded decisions with strong compliance and clear communication with employee beneficiaries.

“They gave great, real-world advice and were always available to discuss issues that came up along the way.”
