Owned by the team. Driven by shared success
In October 2024, Oban became an employee-owned business. That means every team member now has a stake in our future – and a say in how we get there.
Why it matters
Becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) felt like a natural next step. We’ve always believed in doing great work together, taking responsibility, and building lasting relationships – with each other and with our clients. This model reflects all of that.
Now, everyone at Oban has more visibility, more influence, and more opportunity to shape how the business grows – and to share in the success we create.
What it means in practice
- A stronger voice for every team member
- More transparency across the business
- Shared responsibility, shared success
- A culture that rewards long-term thinking
Employee ownership makes us more connected, more accountable – and more committed than ever to doing brilliant work.
Why it works for our clients
Great teams do great work. And when that team is truly invested – not just in the outcome, but in the business itself – you feel the difference. In the thinking, the care, and the results.
More than just a job
Oban is employee-owned, which means everyone here has a real voice in how we grow – and a personal stake in our success. It’s not just a structure, it’s part of how we work together.
A team that’s truly invested
When the whole team shares in the outcome, it shows. We care more, think bigger, and work better – because we’re building something we all believe in.
Very quick to respond. I appreciate how you always look for savings and reinvestments and added value for us.
