Employee Ownership Trust
In 2021, we became an employee-owned business. Every team member has a stake in Kilnbridge’s success, with 100% of the company’s shares held in a trust for all employees.
Employee ownership sets us apart: helping us attract, retain and develop the best talent. By empowering our people to think and act like business owners, we strengthen our ability to deliver complex, specialist projects, while maintaining trusted partnerships with our customers.
We firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset, and the key resource that enables us to achieve our vision and goals.
What is Employee Ownership (EO)?
Employee ownership refers to a business model in which employees hold a meaningful ownership stake in the company and have a say in how its run.
At Kilnbridge, 100% of the company’s shares are held by an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). The Trust acts on behalf of all employee beneficiaries, providing long-term stability, strong governance and stewardship of the business. All employees are eligible for automatic enrolment into the Trust after six months of employment.
The Benefits of Employee Ownership
Employee Ownership makes a significant and growing contribution to the UK economy.
As of August 2021, employee-owned businesses accounted for approximately 4% of UK GDP. Evidence consistently shows that these organisations achieve higher productivity, foster greater innovation and demonstrate increased resilience during periods of economic uncertainty. They also benefit from a more engaged and fulfilled workforce.
Since transitioning to Employee Ownership, Kilnbridge has experienced these same positive outcomes – reinforcing our belief in this model as a foundation for sustainable long-term success.
