February 9, 2026 | EOT, Employee Ownership, agency, healthcare comms

Cuttsy+Cuttsy employees

Cuttsy+Cuttsy founders Caroline Benson and Mathew Cutts are genuinely proud to announce that Cuttsy+Cuttsy (C+C) is now employee owned.

After 15 years of building C+C around a simple belief that people matter – our clients, the patients we ultimately serve, and most of all our team – this marks a hugely meaningful next step in the agency’s story.

“We started Cuttsy+Cuttsy with the belief that you can have a life while working for an agency,” said Caroline and Mathew. “We have always wanted to prove that you can build an ambitious, high-performing agency without losing what matters most. The Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) feels like the natural next move in our journey.”

That people-first approach has been recognised across the industry, including multiple IPA Platinum Awards, being voted one of the top agencies to work for by Campaign magazine, as well as achieving Platinum Investors in People accreditation.

Caroline and Mathew will remain closely involved with the business and continue to hold a minority shareholding, but ownership of C+C is now held in trust on behalf of the team who work within the agency.

“This is about protecting the culture we have built together and making sure C+C continues to thrive for the long term,” they added. “We cannot wait to see where the agency goes next, especially with the team even more invested in shaping its future.”

The move to employee ownership brings stability to the business and reassurance of future ownership for the people who help make Cuttsy+Cuttsy what it is every day.
