eoaLive! featuring the UK EO Awards 2026 — sponsored by Howden

The inaugural eoaLive! event is sponsored by none other than employee ownership champion, EO advisor, and eoa Trustee member, Howden.

Following a triumphant eoa Annual Conference in 2025, Howden returns as sponsor for the eoa’s inaugural eoaLive! event at the Library of Birmingham on 10 June.

As well as eoaLive!, Howden is also sponsoring the co-located UK Employee Ownership Awards as well as EO Day 2026, which takes place just a week after the event.

As the one of the largest employee owned business in the UK, this is how Howden is #OwningIt, supporting the EO sector to grow.

“I’m genuinely delighted that we’re continuing our collaboration with the eoa as we move into 2026, strengthening the ties that bring the employee ownership community closer together.

“Employee ownership isn’t just something we talk about at Howden – it’s the foundation of who we are – so it’s a real privilege to support this year’s combined eoaLive! and UK EO Awards.

“This partnership gives us a valuable opportunity to keep the conversation evolving, champion the power of the employee ownership model, and explore how we can grow its reach and impact. I’m excited to see what we can achieve together as we continue to Own It and build on everything that makes this movement so inspiring.”
