Influence

employee-owned business success being generated across the UK.

Guidance
The Employee Ownership Association is the UK's definitive source of information
and guidance for employee owned businesses – it provides a forum where
you can find out from the experiences of others, it campaigns on behalf
of employee owners with government in the UK and in Europe and it carries
out valuable research to show the value of employee ownership.
Willy Coupar, Director, Involvement and Participation Association
Good practice
The Employee Ownership Association is great, not just for the massive
employee owned businesses but also for wee ones like ourselves. Our workers
can visit other like minded companies and share ideas and good practice
– brilliant!
Margaret Elliott, Director, Sunderland Home Care Associates
Ideas
I value the Employee Ownership Association highly because it provides
a unique vehicle for the development and promotion of ideas in the wide
ranging field of ownership in a company by people who work at the company,
whether it provides a forum for debate or a front to lobby.
Sir Duncan Michael, former Chairman of Trustees, Arup Group
Forum
Our participation in the the Employee Ownership Association network is
extremely valuable to Tullis Russell as it gives us a forum to share
ideas and discuss problems which can ultimately be raised with government
if a resolution at this level is required.
Fred Bowden, Chairman, Tullis Russell Group
Knowledge
I value the Employee Ownership Association because of the vast experience
and knowledge on employee ownership to tap into, from managers to workers,
theory to practice, the Employee Ownership Association has it all.

ownership adviser
Political support
The Employee Ownership Association has been invaluable firstly as the
main channel for ensuring that employee ownership is supported by all
political parties, and secondly as the network of employee owned companies.
