EO Stories 2022
A celebration of EO
EO Stories celebrates the stories of employee-owned businesses and the impacts they are having on employees, the performance of the business, and on the economy and society.
This year, story submissions focussed on our four categories: outstanding employee ownership culture, plus the three pillars of an effective EO culture – good leadership, good governance and good engagement.
Winners of these categories from the public vote, as well as two winners chosen by a panel of judges, were featured at a celebration dinner at the EOA Annual Conference on October 3.
The 28 stories submitted were put live for a public vote on EO Day, June 24, and thousands of votes were cast to establish a winner in each of the four categories. Riverford Organic Farmers, DJS Research, Torchbox and Hayes Davidson were announced as winners of the public vote.
Two businesses were surprised on the night – Rochdale Boroughwide Housing was named Partner’s Pick judged by EOA Trustee Member and EOA Conference Celebration Dinner sponsors GLIDE and Gripple, while Alfa Leisureplex Group was named President’s Pick, judged by EOA President Patrick Lewis.
