Our Team | Our Future | Together As One
From 1st October 2025, Batcheller Monkhouse became an Employee-Owned Business, held in trust for all our employees. As part of this transition, we now operate as Batcheller Monkhouse Ltd.
This exciting change means our business is now owned and run for the benefit of our team — the people who serve our clients every day. While our name and leadership remain the same, our structure now ensures that every member of our team has a direct stake in the continued success of the business.
Becoming employee-owned reflects our commitment to long-term stability, exceptional service, and ensuring our people are actively invested in the future success of Batcheller Monkhouse. This transformation strengthens our collaborative culture and reinforces our shared goal, to deliver the very best for our clients, every day.
Leo Hickish, Chairman and Director, comment:
“This is a defining moment for our firm. Becoming employee-owned is not just a structural change, it is a cultural commitment to the people who make our business what it is. We believe this transition will strengthen our collaborative spirit, enhance innovation, and secure the legacy of our firm for generations to come.”
