A Sector-Wide Approach

To accomplish the aims of the UK Employee Ownership Growth Strategy, we’ll be working alongside the sector and collaboratively seeking support from Government.

We must use our collective voice, expertise, and insight to build capacity, credibility, and momentum for growth to move EO into the mainstream.

Moreover, our stretch goal of 10,000 employee owned businesses will only be reached with Government support combined with targeted interventions.
