About Merlin Energy Resources Ltd

Employee owned

Merlin Energy Resources Ltd. became an Employee-Owned company on the 1st of July 2016, joining other successful Employee-Owned organisations such as John Lewis and ARUP. Our current Employee-Owners board is made up of Fiona Lawrance (Merlin board appointment), Eleanor Oldham (employee elected representative) and Ken Lindsay (non-exec director).

Merlin recognises that its employees are its most important asset and that employees should be closely involved in determining their company’s future. Employee ownership means staff engage more in Merlin’s business and have an active commitment to making the company a success, and moving the company forward into the future. Our commitment to Merlin, means in turn, more commitment to you.

We own the company, so we care.

our ETHOS

Here at Merlin we pride ourselves in acting with honesty and integrity at all times.

  • We strive to build a lasting relationship with all clients, built on mutual trust.
  • We treat your asset as though it was our own, so work is only proposed (or accepted) if we believe that it will create value.
  • Merlin always proposes phased projects where fatal flaws are identified at an early stage, allowing a low cost exit.
  • We adhere to corporate standards in anti-bribery and ethics.
