What being an EOT means for our clients

Becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) isn’t just a big milestone for our team – it’s great news for the people we work with, too.

As we step into this next chapter as an EOT, our clients and partners can expect the same values-led, collaborative approach we’ve always been known for – now backed by even greater commitment and shared purpose.

A stronger, more committed team

When everyone has a stake in the business, you feel it – in the way we communicate, the pride we take in delivery, and the care behind every recommendation. Becoming an EOT strengthens the collaborative culture we’ve been building for years.

It also means our team now has a formal voice in how Hiyield runs. That creates more accountability, a deeper sense of responsibility, and an even greater drive to deliver brilliant outcomes for every client.

“As a B Corp and now an employee owned company, we’re doubling down on what we care about most, putting people and purpose at the heart of business. That means better outcomes, better client relationships, and a stronger future for everyone we work with.”
Kathryn Moffat, Head of Delivery

What to expect from an agency that’s an EOT

When you partner with us, there are a few things you can always count on:

Consistency

A stable team that’s here for the long haul invested in doing its best work and building strong, lasting relationships. That means fewer handovers, more continuity, and long-term thinking baked into every project.

Accountability

Ownership brings pride. We care deeply about the impact of our work, which means proactive communication, high-quality craftsmanship, and a team that treats your goals as their own.

Strategic thinking

With our future in our own hands, we’re thinking longer-term, and the same applies to the advice and solutions we give you. Expect sustainable, future-ready digital solutions, not quick fixes.

Aligned values

As a certified B Corp, we put transparency, inclusion, and sustainability at the heart of everything we do, so you’re working with a team that leads with integrity and has people and planet in mind.

What does this mean in practice?

Your success is personal to us. From the first discovery session to launch day (and long after), we’re more than a supplier – we’re your strategic partner.

You’ll feel it in the energy of our workshops, the way we challenge assumptions, and our commitment to continuous improvement. Every member of the team is invested in our shared success, and that ownership mindset shows in every interaction.

And while our structure has changed, our promise hasn’t: we’re still the same curious, collaborative team now with even more reason to be dedicated to your success.

“It’s fantastic to see another successful business become employee-owned, to reward the contribution made by employees and to unlock the development and growth opportunity provided by turning ’employees’ into ‘owners’.

The move is not only a great opportunity for the business and all of its now employee owners, it also sets their current and future clients up for greater value added by empowering and unlocking the innovation potential amongst the service providers at Hiyield.

Being a B Corp certified purposeful business, the transition to employee ownership further reinforces their authentic commitment to make a positive difference.”
Sam Moles, Ownership Engagement Advisor, Stephens Scown 

It’s business as usual – only better

This isn’t about changing what we do. It’s about deepening the way we do it. Employee ownership builds resilience, strengthens our culture, and gives us even more motivation to keep raising the bar for ourselves and for the clients who trust us with their digital projects.

We’re proud to be part of a growing movement of agencies proving that business can be done differently, and we’re excited for everything this next chapter will bring.

Want to work with an EOT that’s values-led, people-first, and in it for the long run? 

Let’s talk.
