The discussion around Financial Freedom Day showed how many businesses are currently working through this stage of the employee ownership journey. As more organisations move from the initial transaction towards repayment and beyond, the opportunity to share experiences becomes increasingly valuable.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us in Manchester, to our panel for sharing their perspectives so openly, and to the many people in the room who contributed to the conversation.
We’re already looking forward to bringing the community together again at the next EO Community Catalyst event!
Are you an employee trustee or leader within a north west employee-owned business, or are you just curious about how employee ownership works? Join us for the next Employee Ownership Community Catalyst event - a relaxed, practical event design to help EO businesses connect, share experiences, and learn from others working through the same challenges.
This event is hosted by I-COM and Still We Grow, and created by the EO community for the EO community. Expect open conversation, useful insights, and plenty of time to meet other EO businesses across the region.
Are you an EO business interested in attending an event or would like to support our events? Get in touch with us by emailing connect@eocommunitycatalyst.co.uk with your details and we'll get back in touch.
Gill Sherwin, Best of British BeerI wanted to come to the event today because we've just had such a positive experience of employee ownership and I think loads more companies should do it. So, we really wanted to come and share our story and also meet other companies because we don't really know that many who have gone down the same path as us.
