ESTABLISHMENT AND GOVERNANCE
Fast forward seven years to 2019, and HG’s member companies were ready for the next step - to become an integrated group. Out of 43 member companies, 30 banded together with FSN Capital V to form the new HG in July 2020.
The original members of HG found FSN Capital V to be the perfect supporter for their existing companies, with a culture and approach that aligned perfectly with their own. Together, they could work towards a common vision for the future of the industry. Today, the majority of the holding company is owned by HG’s employees and former business owners, with the rest held by FSN Capital V.
At the heart of what we do is our people. That’s why former owners of craft businesses who join us reinvest into HG, meaning that the number of co-owners who invest increases every time a new company becomes part of the group. Additionally, the key individuals at each business are invited to invest in our holding company as part of HG’s Management Incentive Program. With around 600 co-owners who are also employees, we are focused on building and consolidating the strength of our business as a team.
