"I firmly believe the move to employee ownership has been excellent for the company" said Financial Director Jim McManus.

"There's more inclusiveness now and through our monthly meetings our employee-owners understand the full impact our sales, profitability and order book have on the future of their company."
 
The award category aims to showcase the most dramatic and powerful example of an employee owned organisation driving up levels of productivity to deliver improved performance, leading to exemplary outcomes in their field.
