Employee ownership

PausePlay

Shaped by all, shared by all.

As an employee-owned company, we’re driven by people and purpose, not external shareholders. This unique model means every one of us has a stake in the business and a voice in shaping its future. It’s a structure that empowers collaboration, fosters innovation, and ensures that our success is shared by everyone.

Employee ownership is a fundamental part of who we are. It influences how we make decisions, how we work together, and how we grow. It’s the foundation of our culture and a key reason why people choose to build long-term careers with us. Our model has been developed with inclusivity and transparency in mind, ensuring every team member feels connected to our collective success.

Whether you’re just starting out or stepping into a senior role, there’s a place for you in our ownership journey. Junior hires can gain a stake without any financial investment, while senior professionals have the opportunity to invest directly and grow their share as they advance. With clear milestones, consistent structure, and recognition for top performers, our model offers clarity, reward, and a sense of belonging.

Clients trust us because we’re independent, stable, and purpose driven. We thrive because we’re united by a shared commitment to building a better future, together.

Because we’re an employee-owned organisation, it gives us a lot more breathing space to be able to make decisions that we feel keep true to our core values and principles.
