Managing Director Lisa Pogson Says Employee Engagement is Key to Flourishing

Airmaster is an employee-owned heating and cooling company based in Sheffield with a national reach.


Starting out in air conditioning, the business has expanded to become a £9m turnover mechanical services contractor, which unusually for its sector has been owned by its workers through an employee ownership trust since 2021. The trust was set up to create a path to retirement for its founders, as well as helping to safeguard its working culture and build deeper involvement from its workers.
