We don't just work here. We own it.
In 2020, Patterson Pope became a 100% employee-owned company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). So the people planning the work, installing the systems, solving problems, and standing behind the results aren’t just along for the ride.
They’ve got skin in the game. And that changes things.
When people own what they’re building, they pay closer attention. They ask better questions. They care more about the details. And “good enough” starts feeling like a pretty lousy standard.
What's an ESOP, exactly?
An ESOP is a company-sponsored benefit that gives employees an ownership stake in the business. In plain English, when Patterson Pope wins, our people win, too.
That’s not fluff. That’s fuel.
It means the people doing the work have every reason to do it right, stand behind it, and show up long after the install is done.
What this means for those we serve
You get people who think like owners, not order-takers.
We’re not here to punch a clock, drop off a product, and call it a day. We think about the whole job—what you need now, what could trip you up later, and what’s going to matter years into the future when everyone else has moved on.
You get accountability that doesn’t disappear after installation.
If something isn’t right, we make it right. Period. No finger-pointing. No hiding behind a process. No vanishing act once the system is in place. Just people who take ownership of the work and act like it.
You get a partner who's in it for the long haul.
Employee ownership changes the mindset. You stop thinking about the quick win and start thinking about what lasts. Because our future is tied to this company, and this company is tied to the promises we keep.
What this means for our people
For our team, the ESOP is more than a benefit. It’s a reminder that this place is ours to build, protect, and improve.
When Patterson Pope grows, our people grow with it. That creates a culture with a little more pride, a little more grit, and a lot more ownership.
That’s the difference.
- You can see it in the work.
- You can feel it in the follow-through.
- And you can count on it when the job needs to be done right.
We solve the problems that STUFF creates. And we do it as owners.
