National Share Scheme Day!

 

Share schemes spread prosperity 🤑

Employee share schemes provide opportunities to create life-changing wealth for individuals. They also accelerate national growth and stabilise companies, even through difficult economic conditions.

So let’s celebrate National Share Scheme Day by raising awareness of the ENORMOUS power of sharing.

This year's theme is... GENEROSITY!

And to that end, we’ll be launching a competition to find the country’s Most Generous Company.

It’s easy (AND FREE!) to enter. Simply nominate your company (or yourself if you are indeed, the Big Boss) and tell us why you deserve to win.

🍕 Does your whole team benefit from a share scheme?

😴 Do you get Fridays off paid?

🎰 Does your boss take everybody to Vegas once a year?

Whatever makes your company special, let us know and you’ll be in with a chance of winning.

Apply now!

🏆 What do you win? 🏆

Well, aside from glory and obvious bragging rights, your company will also win a shiny trophy, a badge for your website, a free subscription to Vestd and more great prizes. 

We will also be giving the winning company as much free PR as we can possibly drum up across the national press.

AND! Ten runners up will win a copy of Simon Squibb's best selling new book, What's Your Dream?

We’ll be announcing our full prize package shortly, so keep an eye on our socials.

And in terms of what we are looking for... this is wide open to companies of all sizes. We are looking for a company with a heart that is going above and beyond for their employees. 

We are not judging 'which company offers the most', but we are looking for an inspiring company that does its utmost for its team.
