Aberdeen-based Space Solutions has become employee owned.
Founded in 1997, Space Solutions has built an impressive reputation for delivering exceptional workplace environments to clients across the UK. The decision to transition to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) reflects the company’s confidence in its people and its commitment to long-term, sustainable growth.
A Business Built on People
Managing Director Steve Judge and the leadership team have consistently highlighted that Space Solutions’ success is rooted in the talent, creativity, and dedication of its workforce. The move to employee ownership formalises that belief — placing ownership of the company directly in the hands of those who make it thrive every day.
“Employee ownership ensures the business remains independent, protects the culture we’ve built, and rewards the people who’ve helped us grow,” said Mr Judge. “It’s the perfect way to secure the future of Space Solutions and maintain our focus on delivering excellence for our clients.”
Protecting Culture, Strengthening the Future
By transferring 100% of its shares to an Employee Ownership Trust, Space Solutions has ensured that its future will be shaped by the same people who have built its success. The new structure
means:
• Continuity for clients – The same team, leadership, and service excellence remain in place.
• Security for employees – The company’s independence is safeguarded, protecting jobs and
values.
• A stronger business – Employee ownership motivates and engages everyone in the company’s
success.
The EOT structure also allows for long-term stability, supporting future investment and innovation while preserving Space Solutions’ identity as an independent Scottish business.
A Model for Sustainable Succession
Victoria Walker, director for central Scotland said: “As an employee and member of the leadership team, I am looking forward to being part of the next phase of Space Solutions’ growth, alongside my many wonderful colleagues across the business.
“Not only will the move to employee ownership create a legacy, it will also bring new meaning and purpose for each member of the team, whether they’ve been here from the beginning or have been nurtured through our young talent pipeline.
“Becoming employee owned is testament to their skills, knowledge and commitment.”
Looking Ahead
For Space Solutions, this change is less about ownership transfer and more about continuity with purpose: protecting its independence, empowering its people, and delivering even greater value to clients in the years ahead.
With over 250 employee-owned businesses headquartered in Scotland — a number growing every year — Space Solutions joins a thriving community of companies that see employee ownership as the foundation for resilience, innovation, and long-term success.
