Self Build & Renovation: Live! - Episode 5 - '10 Years of Employee Ownership'

In 2024, we celebrated 10 years of being Employee Owned! This is a milestone we're incredibly proud of. Employee Ownership is the cornerstone of our culture and ethos at the NSBRC, so we wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on this achievement, and what it means for us - and for you!

In this episode, our Self Build & Renovation: Live! series host Chris Dawes (Visual PR) is joined by NSBRC team members Harvey Fremlin, Managing Director, Katy Ashcroft, Content Marketing Manager, and Phil Wilson, Business Development Manager, to discuss what EO is all about, what this journey has been like for our business, and how it benefits our employees, our visitors and our partners.
