Metway Electrical Industries, a UK manufacturer of electrical connectors and lighting control systems, has announced the successful transition of its business into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), effective 1 November 2025.
The move marks a defining moment in the company’s history, seeking to ensure Metway’s continued independence and “reinforcing [its] commitment to long-term stability and customer service.”
A shift of ownership
The EOT structure means Metway’s employees now hold a controlling interest in the business, aligning ownership directly with the people responsible for its operations.
Metway says the transition was planned to preserve its core values of “quality, innovation, and reliability”.
Managing Director Steve Chessell comments, “Our people are at the heart of Metway’s success and moving to employee ownership reflects that reality.
“This transition safeguards Metway’s independence, strengthens our collaborative culture, and ensures that our customers and partners continue to receive the consistent service and support they expect from us.”
Metway continues to design, manufacture, and supply a range of electrical connectors, lighting connection systems, and lighting controls from its Brighton headquarters.
