Flo-Mech Ltd becomes fully employee owned through ownership trust

Flo-Mech Ltd has announced that it officially became 100% employee-owned on 18 November 2025, following the transfer of all shares by the Elderkin family and other shareholders into the Flo-Mech Employee Ownership Trust.

The team was informed on Friday 19 December 2025, once all details had been finalised, during an off-site event led by the company’s directors and Chairman, Alan Elderkin. During the event, it was explained that while the company had received significant offers to sell, this option never felt quite right.

Flo-Mech has long valued its family traditions and the way the business is run, with people at its heart. The company’s team, customers and partners, together with the strong relationships built over more than 50 years, are considered fundamental to its identity. Becoming employee-owned is seen as a way to protect these values over the long term.

The directors and management team will remain in place to lead the business forward, with a focus on future growth and development opportunities.

Flo-Mech also expressed its appreciation to everyone involved in the process, with particular thanks to the teams at Grant Thornton UK and Buckles Law Peterborough for their professional guidance throughout the transition.
