What you helped make happen in 2025
We launched in January 2025 with one clear aim. Make employee ownership easier to explore, easier to understand, and easier to do well.

Months of constant conversations
Roadshows that brought the work to life
We ran roadshows to move the conversation from “interesting idea” to “practical option”. People came with real questions. They left with clearer next steps.
- You heard from people who have already transitioned.
- You asked the questions that matter during a sale, a succession plan, and a governance change.
- You met advisers and peers who can help you do it properly.
If you missed one, you did not miss the opportunity. We can point you to the right starting point for your situation.
A stronger website, built for action
We built the website to work as a hub. Not a brochure.
- Clear routes for owners, employees, and advisers.
- Simple explanations of the model and why it fits succession planning.
- A place to share stories, tools, and dates for the diary.
Stakeholder meetings that shaped the year
We spent a lot of time in rooms where decisions get made. We also spent time with the people who feel the impact.
- Policymakers and agencies, to keep employee ownership on the agenda.
- Advisers, to strengthen the local support around transitions.
- Business leaders, to test what works and what needs to change.
These meetings did one useful thing. They turned employee ownership into a serious option in more conversations.
The sector grew. The tone changed.
We saw more confidence. People now ask better questions.
- Owners ask about readiness, finance, and timing.
- Employees ask about voice, representation, and trust.
- Advisers ask how to structure deals and governance in a way that lasts.
That shift matters. It leads to better transitions.
Our vision for what comes next
We want more high-quality transitions. We want them to stick.
- More businesses plan for employee ownership earlier.
- More advisers raise employee ownership as a standard succession route.
- More employee owners share what they learned, not just what went well.
What is one thing you will do in 2026 to make employee ownership easier to choose in your sector?
