Tony Higson, Managing Director of Grayson said: “Our employees have always been at the heart of what we do.

“Becoming an Employee Ownership Trust is a natural evolution of our values. It ensures that those who have contributed to the growth of the business are rewarded and empowered to continue driving it forward.”

“We are proud to be different and even prouder to be owned by the people who make Grayson the special company it is.

“This new chapter will only strengthen our focus on delivering the best products and services while continuing to support our team and the communities we serve.”
