Employee-Owned. Team Driven.
In 2021, Acquisition Systems Ltd became an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), meaning the majority of the company is now owned by the people who work here.
The Trust is overseen by a board that includes three elected employee representatives, an independent external trustee, a current Director, and a former Director, ensuring a balanced and inclusive voice in how the business is run.
Becoming employee-owned has formalised what we’ve always believed, that our strength lies in a positively engaged team, where everyone feels invested in the company’s success and proud of the work they do.
