Celebrating five years of being #ProudlyEO.
We've been on quite a journey since Olly and Tom decided to hand over the ownership of Torchbox to its employees on EO Day 2019. This move made us the first digital agency to become 100% employee-owned, marking the start of an exciting new chapter.
Transitioning to employee ownership was a bold step, driven by our belief that the best people to own Torchbox are those who have made it a success and will continue to do so.
Over the past four years, we've been honoured with the Good Leadership Award at the Employee Ownership Association (eoa) conference, launched our AI and Innovation Hub, and achieved our B Corp (B Lab UK) Certification. We've worked on fantastic projects with amazing clients, making a real impact and fulfilling our purpose of empowering positive changemakers.
However, our four-year journey hasn’t been without its challenges, which, when faced as a 100% employee-owned company, take on a new complexion. The last six months have been the most difficult, but we plan to emerge iron-clad, hard-forged in the fires of employee ownership.
Looking ahead, we’re excited about what the future holds. We're a strong team of co-owners, collaborating with fantastic purpose-driven organisations, in the UK and around the world.
If your organisation is considering a similar path, we’d love to share our experiences.
Here’s to a year of growth, resilience, and success as a proudly employee-owned company.
Happy 12th Employee Ownership Day!
