London contains nearly 500 employee owned businesses, 30% of the total in the UK, and the sector proved resilient through the pandemic.

The 2022 Fall ESOP Forum: Thank You!

The NCEO's Fall ESOP Forum was held in St. Louis last week, and we offer a huge thank-you to the people who joined us there and showed so much enthusiasm for making employee ownership thrive. It's always our fondest hope here at the NCEO that participants leave every NCEO event not simply with a new piece of information or a bunch of notes on corporate governance but instead with the ability and readiness to do something when you get home that you couldn't do before.
