A proven model for growth
Aston Carter’s strategy is to dominate the UK market in the sectors in which we operate, continue building critical mass in our European businesses, open new European offices as appropriate, and continue developing our presence in Asia. We therefore possess the platform, the management bandwidth and the opportunities for rapid, sustainable growth.
Aston Carter was formed in 1997. In 2007 we were the subject of a management buyout with Baird Capital Partners Europe, to facilitate shares being made available to our staff, and to enable us to grow. 45% of our staff are now shareholders, and with worldwide turnover in excess of £100m, our objectives are clearly being achieved.
Our focus is to create value for our shareholders, and use this as an incentive to ensure our people stay with us and perform. All our employees’ annual incentive plans include the opportunity to accrue shares, which in turn has helped us achieve a market-leading attrition rate of just 10-15%.
Aston Carter is well planned, financially well managed, and we grow at a rate that is appropriate to our business. We’ve made significant back office investments in compliance, legal, HR, IT and finance, and our seasoned management team has enabled us to navigate the recent downturn and emerge in a strengthened market position. We’re targeting a return to rapid growth in 2010, and we have a platform we believe can at least double our net income as a business.
To find out how we intend to achieve this, see Company strategy.
