As an employee-owned business, our team have a genuine stake in the company’s future. This means our team is invested in the long-term success of the business, in the quality of the work we deliver and in the relationships we build with each other, our clients and our wider industry.

Employee ownership reflects the way we want to work: with accountability, shared responsibility and a culture where every individual has a voice. It supports collaboration across the business and encourages decisions that are made with care, integrity and a long-term perspective.

Our independence allows us to offer clear, impartial expertise without supplier, contractor or external consulting ties.

In November 2024, we were named EO Rising Star of the Year at the UK Employee Ownership Awards, recognising the strength of our employee-owned culture and the contribution of our people.

At J P Hildreth, we are passionate about encouraging more women to pursue, develop and succeed in engineering careers. We support inclusion, collaboration and professional growth through opportunities for networking, mentoring and career development across our business.

We are proud to support SheCanEngineer, helping to inspire the next generation of female engineers, raise awareness of the opportunities within the profession and help build a more diverse, innovative and inclusive industry.
