ACC Aviation has transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), ensuring employees hold a direct stake in the company's future. The move follows a period of significant expansion under YFM Equity Partners, which included acquisitions and the opening of new offices in the United States, the Middle East and Asia.

Philip Mathews, CEO of ACC Aviation, says: “Our business is built on people; our employees and the relationships they cultivate with customers and suppliers. The move to an Employee Ownership Trust ensures that our team is directly invested in the company's success and offers employees a stake in ACC Aviation's future.”

YFM’s 2014 investment strengthened ACC Aviation’s corporate infrastructure, positioning the company for long-term growth. Portfolio director Sophie Tainton adds: “This transition ensures the business remains in the hands of those who know it best; its employees. We are confident ACC Aviation will continue to thrive in its next phase.”

Unlike competitors that focus on either leasing, charter or consultancy, ACC Aviation integrates all three, leveraging industry expertise and supplier relationships to provide tailored solutions. The company also remains committed to sustainability, working with Positive Planet on a Carbon Reduction Plan.

“The EOT structure allows us to retain our culture and ensure continuity while giving employees the opportunity to share in our success,” says Mathews. “We believe this will help attract top talent, retain our exceptional team and continue to deliver the outstanding service that ACC Aviation is known for.”
