If you've been following our recent updates, you'll know that we recently celebrated a significant milestone: our 15th birthday. It's been a journey filled with hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our clients and their candidates. Along the way, we've experienced both challenges and triumphs, but what stands out the most is the sense of pride we feel for what we've built.

As we move forward, we have gained renewed clarity and a fresh perspective on our future. Taking a step back has invigorated and inspired us to take bold strides forward. The contagious enthusiasm within our team is a testament to our shared vision of creating something truly remarkable together.

At HARBOUR, we firmly believe in the power of inclusion and shared success. We want every member of our team, regardless of whether they work part-time or full-time, to feel like a valued and integral part of our journey. That's why we are thrilled to announce the recent roll-out of our Employee Share Ownership Scheme. This scheme, implemented through the EMI (Enterprise Management Incentive) framework, ensures that every HARBOURite has an opportunity to benefit should the company ever be sold. It's important to note that this does not imply an imminent sale, but rather reflects our realistic approach to the future and our commitment to our team's investment in our collective success.

Tony and I, the founders of this endeavor, alongside our dedicated Board, are passionate about creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and rewarded. We firmly believe that when our team members thrive, so does our business. The introduction of the Employee Share Ownership Scheme is a significant step towards aligning our interests for the long term and demonstrating our commitment to our values.

As we celebrate fifteen years of growth and accomplishments, our determination to create a future that surpasses our wildest dreams has only grown stronger. Our clients and their candidates will always remain at the forefront of everything we do. We wanted to take this opportunity to share the exciting news about our commitment to living our values and ensuring that our team shares in our success.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here's to the past, the present, and the incredible future we are building together at HARBOUR.
