Why work with us?
Working at Acquisition Systems comes with a variety of benefits. We are committed to supporting our employees with their overall wellbeing, so they can thrive both at work and at home. We review our benefits package regularly to ensure that what we are offering is in line with our employees’ expectations. We are also an accredited Real Living Wage Employer. The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum.
Our benefits include:
Enhanced holiday
Family friendly policies
Pension
Referral bonus
Life Assurance
Employee Assistance Programme
Employee ownership trust
Cycle to work scheme
Employee Ownership Trust
In 2021, the shareholding of Acquisition Systems Ltd, transferred to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This means that the employees are majority owners of the company and are represented on the Trust’s board by three elected employee representatives, an independent external trustee, a current Director, and a former Director.
The current Trustees are Timothy Cureton, Alex White, Andy Marchant, Sue Lawrence and John McCollin. Becoming employee-owned has formalised our long-held belief that the success of the company and its work comes from having a positively engaged team, where each person is invested in where they work and what they do.
Benefits of being an EOT
- Sharing in our success – annual tax-free bonus for all employees if applicable.
- Engaged, committed, and motivated – our employees have a meaningful say in how the business is run and operated. We have a clear shared purpose.
- Research suggests that companies owned by employees tend to be more successful, competitive, profitable, and sustainable than companies with other ownership structures. Increased employee motivation and retention are likely to be key reasons.
