In 2025, Pacy & Wheatley became an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), keeping the company in the hands of those who care most. Not shareholders. Not outside investors. Us. Protecting our independence and securing our future.
What is Employee Ownership?
An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) is a trust in which employees own the business, with the shares held in trust for the benefit of those who work in it. There has been no change to our leadership team, our management structure, or how we deliver for our clients and partners.
Why We Chose This Path
Pacy & Wheatley was built on loyalty, long-term thinking and doing things the right way. That has never changed. When the time came to consider the business’s future, we had options. We could have sold, stepped back and handed control to external investors, or taken the value and walked away. But that is not who we are.
Living Ownership Everyday
Employee ownership is not about job titles or voting rights. It’s about how we show up, how we work, and how we support each other. It’s a mindset built on pride, accountability and shared purpose.
Living ownership means asking questions, sharing ideas and speaking up about improvements. It means understanding how the business performs, not just what we deliver, and supporting one another to succeed, because when the company does well, we all benefit.
