Briggs & Forrester Group chairman Mike Stanton has announced that the share ownership of the group has been extended to include all of the directors of its four operating companies.

The management team now owns 25% of the group.

Stanton says: “The group has an excellent reputation for quality, dedication and a team approach in working with our customers. We believe the key to our success is the people we employ and extending the group’s shareholders to bring in board members of the management team represents a tremendous opportunity for people to become shareholders in the group as the business continues to develop.”

In the past five years the Briggs & Forrester Group has doubled in size to £100 million turnover, employing over 550 people. It is currently placed in the top 16 m&e contractors in the UK and its objective is to be in the top ten in terms of not only size but also reputation and profitability.
