Celebrating 3 years of Employee Ownership
Posted in News on 7 February 2023 By Victoria Sugg, Co-CEO
Just three years on from our announcement that we were becoming employee owned, it's incredible to hear how it is now understood by our partners and embedded throughout our business. You can hear first hand from our partners in the video below.
Hearing Emperor partners using adjectives like ‘proud’, ‘wanted’, ‘equal’ and ‘heard’ when describing what employee ownership means to them strikes right to the very heart of what our founders Steve Kemp, Noel O'Connor and Kingsley James wanted to achieve in what was then an industry-leading change.
We see the positive impact employee ownership brings every day,
- in the special initiatives our partners proactively originate to us
- in how our partners bring everything they have to their roles
- and in the quality of the thinking, creativity and delivery that our clients experience as a result.
Every person at Emperor is collectively responsible for our continued growth and success. Together we are creating a truly sustainable legacy business. A business where our people will continue to grow and which is fiercely protective of our special culture; where there is a clear direction, a sense of purpose and we consistently create great work.
If you would like to understand more about our experience as an employee-owned business or any element of selling to an employee ownership trust, do not hesitate to get in touch with me, Cameron Gunn or Emperor Director, Kingsley James, who is on the board of the Employee Ownership Association.
