Stone & Wood has announced that 30 of its employees have accepted its latest annual share offer and become part-owners in the business.
The addition of the new shareholders means 72% of its team are now owners in the business.
The brewery notes: “Each year we welcome more of the team as partners and shareholders, after working for at least one year in the business.
“It isn’t just about what we brew but how we do business. We’re committed to having our highly talented team be co-owners and share in the value they are creating.”
The employee share scheme is one benefit of its Brewlife program, which is built on ‘brewing a good life’ for its staff. Stone & Wood says it places great importance in bringing the right people on, who respect the vision and contribute to cultivating the brewery’s unique culture.
“We believe that to create a sustainable business for generations to come, we all need to have ‘skin in the game’,” the company explained.
The strategy is part of its commitment to remaining a local independent brewery that supports the community and creates value for its stakeholders.
“Our Share Scheme not only gives the team a sense of pride and ownership when they come to work each day but it has the potential to generate a nest egg for them and their family over time,” it notes.
