The trust is indirect, meaning that eligible employees are not shareholders directly, however they are held ‘in-trust’ by the Trust’s Board of Directors.

o Eligible employees: Employees must be employed for 6 months before being an eligible beneficiary of the Trust.

Please note: All applicants must hold a current permit or visa showing their right to work in the UK.
