We remain a benchmark in our industry for our enduring commitment to sustainable growth & innovation. Celebrating our 25th Anniversary last year, the company’s success is testament to the unrelenting drive we have to solve our customers’ problems & the unique culture developed at 4 sites across the globe. Established in Sheffield, the company has since grown to occupy offices in Strasbourg, Chicago & New Delhi.

Through our business employee ownership model (we reached 100% employee ownership in 2013), we put people at the beating heart of all we do & broke new ground when employees voted on the appointment of the company’s new Managing Director last year. GLIDE - (Growth Led Innovation Driven Employee Company) the trust established to represent the interests of the company’s shareholders – gives employees a vote & a say in the direction of the business which has helped to create a culture of empowered ownership. After a year with the business, our people are expected to purchase £1000 worth of shares. All shareholders are represented by the GLIDE board. Irrespective of how many shares they have, it is one member, one vote on GLIDE matters
