“Winning the 2025 ‘Employee Owned Business of the Year’ award is a significant event in our journey as a business and as a team. Since becoming employee owned in 2018, we’ve been committed to building something that goes far beyond commercial success. We’ve invested a great deal of time, energy and thought into creating a culture we’re genuinely proud of, one where people feel trusted, empowered, respected and supported to do their very best work.

“To be recognised by the eoa, alongside so many incredible employee-owned businesses, is something we are exceptionally proud of. It’s a powerful endorsement of our people, our values, and the shared ownership model that underpins everything we do at 20/20.”
