Gilroy transitions to Employee Ownership Trust

People-led future for B2B agencies

Leading full funnel B2B marketing and growth agency, Gilroy, has announced its transition to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This significant milestone in Gilroy’s 46-year heritage reflects an unwavering dedication to employees, clients, and the long-term success of the business.

The move to employee ownership empowers every member of the Gilroy team to collectively share in the company’s success, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and shared purpose. By adopting the EOT model, Gilroy ensures its values, expertise, and independent spirit will continue to thrive for generations to come.

Commitment to people and partnerships

“As an employee-owned business, we’re reaffirming our belief that our people are our greatest asset,” said Kevin Sleap, Founder & CEO.“This transition not only rewards the dedication and creativity of our team but also strengthens our commitment to our clients across the world, who trust us to deliver exceptional results. We’re excited about the opportunities this new chapter presents for everyone involved.”

Why change matters

For employees: The EOT structure provides every employee with a direct stake in the company’s success, creating a workplace culture that values shared growth and innovation.

For clients: Employee ownership enhances accountability, fuels creative excellence, and ensures long-term stability in partnerships. Clients can expect the same outstanding service, now backed by a team with a heightened sense of investment in their success.

For the future: The transition secures Gilroy’s independence and sustainability, preserving the company’s ethos while setting the foundation for continued growth.
