At Urban, we're not just a company—we're a community of owners united in purpose and passion. This October, we proudly celebrate Employee Ownership Month, a time dedicated to recognizing our incredible team members who, as employee-owners, drive our continued success.

ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan, a unique retirement benefit that sets Urban apart. The plan allows employees to accumulate company shares over time. As the company grows, so can the value of these shares, potentially boosting employees' retirement savings. Employees sell their shares back to the company upon retiring or leaving, providing a potentially significant payout for their future. This plan combines traditional retirement savings with the potential for increased value based on the company's success.

Unlike other corporate structures, our people are not just contributors—they're owners. This ownership structure empowers employees, aligns personal and company goals, and creates a culture of growth.

Being an ESOP company means we're more than just colleagues; we're partners in success. We work together daily with a shared vision, knowing that our individual efforts contribute to a stronger company. This culture of ownership creates collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to quality.

As we celebrate Employee Ownership Month, we want to thank our employee-owners for their dedication, passion, and ownership mindset. Their hard work and shared commitment make Urban the dynamic company it is today.

Happy Employee Ownership Month, Urban team! Together, we are building a stronger, brighter future.
