In 2020 we transitioned to employee-ownership was taken to secure not only a long-term future for the company but for the benefits it provides for 3P innovation’s employees and customers.

Businesses which move to employee ownership are often renowned for having a family-like and collaborative culture something 3P innovation pride themselves on. Each member of our team is actively encouraged to develop new ideas and to make a difference.

'Employee Ownership is about investing for the long-term benefit of employees, and ensuring all employees have a voice in big decisions. Since we became employee-owned, our staff are more empowered to control their futures within 3P. This has led to high levels of engagement and job satisfaction. Ultimately, this means that we can plan for significant growth, and our clients and partners can expect excellent service from a stable business well into the future’. - Dave Seaward, Founder and Projects Director.
