- “This was our 4th year of employee ownership and the financial benefits were felt by the staff network when we made a healthy distribution of profits. Alongside the trustee directors' constant progress to enhance our company culture, we feel that employee ownership has strengthened our company. This can be seen in our reduced staff turnover, increased profits and high staff morale.”
