At e-POWER, we take great pride in providing a safe and happy workplace and know that this has a direct impact on productivity and service delivery.
We believe in what we do and what we stand for at e-POWER, which is why we are driven for maximum long-term success for our company, our employees and our clients.
In June 2024, we became an Employee-Owned Trust, as we wanted to keep the company’s brand and values intact and provide a driven and secure environment for our employees. As a close-knit team, we wanted to generate greater productivity for our clients, while showcasing our commitment and consideration for everyone who works for or with us.
An Employee-Owned Trust means that our employees can be reassured by increased job security, as well as share financially in our success. At e-POWER every team member has a voice and benefits from a collaborative, motivated and mutually supportive environment where our goals are aligned and we continually invest in employee development, innovation and quality improvement.
An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) is a structure that allows employees to collectively own a company through a trust, which holds a controlling interest in the business on their behalf.
In the UK, an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) allows employees to collectively own a company through a trust structure. The original owners sell a controlling interest in the company to the EOT, often financed by company profits over time. The trust holds these shares on behalf of the employees, making them indirect owners. Trustees are appointed to act in the best interests of the employees, and while the management team continues to handle daily operations, trustees oversee major decisions to ensure they align with employee interests.
Employees benefit from this model through profit-sharing bonuses, which can be tax-free up to £3,600 annually per employee, and increased job security as the company is protected from external takeovers. The EOT structure promotes long-term stability, preserves the company’s mission, and provides a succession solution for exiting owners, with specific tax advantages that make it attractive for both business continuity and employee engagement.
Our employees’ investment in e-POWER goes beyond a career. Sharing a common goal, we are passionate about providing the right service for our clients, ensuring we produce a smoother trading process for you.
