Employee Ownership

We have proudly been employee-owned since May 2021. This means our people are involved and invested in the ongoing success of Consult Red.

Employee ownership is a win-win for both Consult Red and our people

Everyone has a stake, and everyone has a say.

We work together with shared values and purpose towards our common goals. Our team members feel empowered, have a say in our future, and share in our success.


Quick facts

  • Consult Red chose employee ownership to help ensure long-term stability, security and success.
  • Statistically, employee-owned businesses achieve more growth and can be more profitable. They are resilient, agile and able to better weather economic challenges
  • Consult Red sits among many well-known employee-owned brands including John Lewis, Richer Sounds, Thales and Unipart. The Employee Ownership Association (EOA) says many more are preparing to follow suit.
  • At the beginning of our employee ownership journey, 100% of the issued shares were owned for the benefit of the employees.
    • Over time new share options may be issued.
    • Unless otherwise approved by the trust the number of options issued will never exceed 35% and can never exceed 50%.

How it works

Our Employee Committee works with the Employee-Ownership Trust, Executive Management Team, and our Board of Directors to determine what Consult Red stands for and where it will go next.
