Clear View Windows Ltd

Clear View Windows converted to employee ownership in 2021 when the founding family decided to pass control to the people who had built the business. The EOT structure has transformed the culture: staff turnover has halved, customer satisfaction scores have risen, and the business has grown steadily.
