The company has joined a growing number of Northern Irish businesses by setting up an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). The deal, structured with guidance from Grant Thornton NI and McAleer Jackson Chartered Accountants, aims to safeguard the company’s long-term future.
The EOT is a trust fund that acquires shares in the company on behalf of employees, who become the beneficiaries of the trust.
Founders Martin Grimes and Adrian McCrory will retain a significant shareholding and remain in place as Directors.

"It is very much business as usual as we continue to service our customers, with this deal ensuring that those who have contributed to our success will directly benefit from the future growth of the company."
