Employee Ownership Trust

Napper Architects is an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). In 2021 Napper decided to make a bold move and convert to a Trust ownership model whereby all of the employees own a share of the business. This helps enshrine our long-held company ethos that is people focussed promoting collaborative design.

This comes with a number of benefits:

• All employees benefit and share any profit the company makes rewarding loyalty.
• Research indicates that EOT businesses perform stronger with employees who are more committed and engaged. This in turn benefits Clients as they receive an improved service due to every employee having a personal commitment to make sure the business thrives.
• The ownership model means that future directors are determined according to skillset rather than their ability to access funds to buy into the business. This ensures a seamless succession and sustainability of the business.

Trustees nominated by the employees represent the Trust and seek to cultivate the collaborative culture and enhance what we do.

Since our formation in 1946 we have established a track record of award-winning buildings which stand the test of time. We have delivered inspirational and sustainable projects small and large, for private and public sector clients and across all sectors. We have long had the benefit of a dedicated and loyal workforce, the Employee Ownership Trust now rewards all those who work for Napper and ensures that the company continues for many more decades to come.
