“For Hallam, transitioning to a 100% employee-owned model in 2025 was a powerful realisation of its people-first, purpose-driven culture and B Corp values. Rather than risking cultural dilution through a traditional corporate sale, this structure places the company's future entirely in the hands of its team, formally embedding transparency, psychological safety and shared governance into daily operations. For employees: The EOT structure gives the team "real skin in the game" through an active voice in key decisions via the Employee Council and Trust Board, while directly tying their hard work to financial success with annual tax-free bonuses. For clients: It guarantees continuity of leadership, greater accountability, and an elevated standard of care. Because clients work with true business owners who are personally and directly invested in the agency's long-term commercial success and ethical standards, they benefit from a deeply committed, highly motivated and value-aligned partnership.”

The eoa is aiming for 7,500 employee-owned businesses by 2030, with a stretch goal of 10,000. Aggregate data provided by the Employee Ownership Association and White Rose Employee Ownership Centre.
