In 2024, Gemini AMPM made a bold, future-focused decision: to transition the business into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). The structural shift means the majority of the company is owned by the people who help build it every day: its employees.
Why we chose an EOT
Rather than sell to a private equity firm or an external buyer, Gemini’s leadership chose to protect the company culture, secure its long-term future, and reward the employees who drive its success. The model ensures continuity, stability and shared prosperity across the team.
How the EOT works
A majority shareholding in Gemini AMPM is held in trust for all employees. Staff at every level benefit from the profits the business generates, with tax-free annual bonuses available based on performance. The EOT also gives employees a stronger voice, through elected trustees and improved governance.
The impact so far
The transition has created visible cultural shifts. Employees report increased engagement and investment in company goals. The change has reinforced loyalty, boosted morale and strengthened unity across departments, and clients feel the difference too, working with a business where every team member is genuinely committed to excellence.
A message from our Chairman
For Chairman Jamie Dawson, employee ownership is the natural expression of how the company already thinks about its people: “The EOT puts that belief into action. This isn’t about cashing out. It’s about building a legacy.”
Looking ahead
The EOT structure will remain central to Gemini AMPM’s identity as the company continues to grow, rewarding hard work, promoting fairness, and keeping the people who deliver the work at the heart of the business they now own.
