ESOP News
2018 marks our 25th year of ESOP celebrations!
We started on this journey in 1993 when FBG formally announced its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The first ESOP certificates were shared in April of 1994, solidifying my father and our founder, Wayne Simmonds’ long-time vision for the company and officially establishing FBG as one of the few employee-owned companies in America. For over a decade, FBG has been listed in The Employee Ownership 100: America’s Largest Employee-Owned Companies.
Since we established the plan, we’ve made the pilgrimage to each of our District offices following the end of our fiscal year to celebrate our good fortune with all our owners. This is the most rewarding time of the year to me because it celebrates the culmination of all our efforts. It’s most meaningful to award those that have made us and our customers successful, while ensuring a secure future for us all.
To our District teams, thank you for sharing your time, energy and resources creating a wonderful celebration. As we tour around the country for these visits, we love to greet our new employee owners along with those that have been coming for years. We are proud of all of you who contribute to FBG’s success and in turn, the financial security of all our owners.
Help me welcome our newest group of employee owners who recently qualified to participate in our ESOP and 401K retirement programs!
