Stillwater Associates

EOTTrustees.co.uk is proud to support the trustees of Stillwater Associates, helping them discharge their duties with strong governance and compliance, clear decision-making and documentation, and effective communication with employee beneficiaries.

Established in 2008, Stillwater Associates is a specialist reservoir safety and engineering consultancy, supporting more than 200 clients across 350+ reservoir projects in the UK and internationally. The firm is known for deep technical expertise and a strong, team-driven culture within a niche and highly regulated sector.

With this people-focused ethos at its core, the shareholders chose employee ownership as the best long-term strategy for the business. The Employee Ownership Trust preserves Stillwater’s values, rewards its employees and supports long-term independence and stability.

For a specialist consultancy like Stillwater, trustee support means combining disciplined governance with well-documented decisions and clear communication that keeps employee beneficiaries connected to the trust’s stewardship. Training and business planning is also supported.

In a specialist market where skills are in high demand, employee ownership also strengthens recruitment and retention by offering continuity, opportunity and a shared stake in the firm’s future.

“Our staff are excited about this new chapter for the company and are embracing their new roles as we move forward.”

David Littlemore, Stillwater Associates
