B2B marketing consultancy The Frameworks has transitioned into full employee ownership. The company, which is entering its 36th year, will now be owned by an Employee Ownership Trust and its 31 employees, known as 'Frameworkers'.
The company, whose services include campaign and content strategy, market and audience research and digital development, has a blue-chip client list including Sony, Bloomberg, Adobe and IBM.
The agency's founder, Terry Brissenden said that the move to employee ownership ensures The Frameworks remains independent, protects its values and empowers its people to take ownership of the business's future.
Brissenden said: 'This is an incredibly proud moment in The Frameworks' history. For 35 years, our people have been the driving force behind our success, and this transition is a natural step to ensure their efforts are recognised and rewarded. I've always believed that the best work happens when people feel valued and invested in, and employee ownership will only strengthen our culture and our ability to deliver exceptional results for clients.'
Indeed, employee ownership is becoming an increasingly popular choice among UK businesses, with the number of EOTs rising 27 per cent year-on-year in 2024.
James Trowman, Partner and General Manager of The Frameworks, added: 'This transition reflects who we are and what we stand for as a business. At The Frameworks, culture is everything. Moving to employee ownership allows every single Frameworker to have a stake in our future, contributing to an environment where collaboration and shared purpose drive our success.'
Rose Stewart, Design Director and newly elected trustee director of The Frameworks EOT, added: 'For us, this isn't just a milestone for the agency – it's an exciting opportunity to deepen our commitment to clients. Frameworkers will be more involved and more invested in delivering the creative solutions we're known for. We're seeing this change already.'
