Shaping our own future through employee ownership

In January 2020 Seetec became employee-owned, giving us, its employees, the responsibility to guide our business and shape its future.

Our goal is to support the communities and individuals we work with to ensure that they succeed and prosper. When they are successful, so are we.

Their success enables us to invest in what matters most to us – creating long lasting positive change for the people and places we serve.

Giving employees a voice

We believe employee-ownership is fundamental to the work we do, with the majority of our business in the hands of our employee-owners thanks to our Trust.

Acting on behalf of our employee-owners, our Trust Board is comprised of an elected employee-representative and shareholders of the business – helping to guide the future direction of our business.

Making an impact

Becoming employee-owned has changed our future for the better and empowered us to continue supporting others in building better futures for themselves.

We work with people across the UK and Ireland to identify the support and skills they need to improve their lives and exceed their ambitions – building their confidence and capability to become active members of their communities.

Building on our legacy

Our aim has always been, and will always be, to change lives for the better.

Founded over 40 years ago as a small charity teaching IT skills to unemployed young people, our work now supports hundreds of thousands of individuals across the UK and Ireland to find work, learn new skills and build better futures.

As employee-owners, we’re now looking to drive further improvements and continue to provide enduring positive outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

Benefits to individuals and communities

We’re proud to join a growing movement of businesses looking for new ways to deliver greater economic and social value to the individuals and communities that we serve.

As one of the largest employee-owned companies and public service providers in the UK, we offer greater diversity and choice for commissioners seeking expertise from private sector organisations.
