RJ Lifts Group has become 100% employee owned.
RJ Lifts group has transitioned to 100% employee ownership in a move that will enable its employees to share more in the future direction and success of the business. The company has been one of the country’s leading lift specialists for over 25 years, operating across the UK and currently employing around 200 staff. The decision to transfer all of the company’s shares into a trust where they will be held on behalf of the employees supports the company’s aim to remain independent. It is a natural progression for a business that has always been focused on its people and recognises their commitment.
Richard Skelson (Group Chairman) said “This is a very positive step for our staff, our clients, and the company. Our vision is for the business to continue be run in accordance with the values and principles on which it was first built, and this will be enhanced by employee ownership”
Gareth Williams (Managing Director) said “This guarantees our future and the next stage of growth as an independent company and allows us to continue to deliver consistently for our clients”.
