We are Proudly Employee Owned
In April 2024, Emsworth Yacht Harbour transitioned to an employee-owned trust, becoming the UK's first marina to adopt this model. An Employee Ownership Trust now holds 80% of the company's shares on behalf of its 12 employees, with the remaining 20% retained by the Wakelin family, who had owned the marina since the 1990s. This move was designed to preserve the marina's independence and community-focused ethos, ensuring long-term stability and rewarding the dedicated team behind its success.View more about out marina facilities and resident businesses

Our Trustees
As part of our employee ownership governance, we have a board of three trustees who have oversight over our group companies. The trust meets twice a year to discuss the running of the companies with input from our employee rep, who represents the employee owners.
