Wherever the needs of our customers take us, we ensure all of our projects address the local regulatory and legislative requirements, as well as the challenges posed by procurement. Our strong balance sheet, established client relationships, and demonstrable quality of work give credibility from the front line to the C-suite and Executive Floor.
Independent thought and action
Evolution, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021, transitioned in April 2022 to an Employee Owned Trust (EOT) for the future benefit of all employees. The Evolution Trust owns 77% of the company and every EOT member will share in the profits for as long as they are part of the business.
Current owners and founders Richard Lambert and John Wust retain 23% of the company to ensure management continuity and as a signal of their ongoing commitment to employees and customers alike.
Evolution is one of the largest, independently-owned businesses of its kind, capable of delivering Enterprise-wide fire and security, risk and design and retail security solutions. With a 2022 turnover of £30 million, and 200 employees across six offices, we are a recognised expert in what we do, and have the clients, the testimonials and the accreditations to prove it.
We also continue to invest, in our people, in our infrastructure, and in our research and development, to ensure we always stay one step ahead of the game.
