‘Employee Owned Rising Star of the Year’

Melior Solutions has been shortlisted for the prestigious ‘Employee Owned Rising Star of the Year’ in the UK Employee Ownership Awards!

The UK Awards celebrates the achievements of businesses that truly deliver people power. They recognise businesses and individuals who drive effective EO practices and empower employee owners to unlock Great EO impacts.

The UK EO Awards are sponsored by Baxendale Employee Ownership, an eoa Specialist Advisor who help owners and founders transition their businesses into EO and support businesses at all stages of EO.

Melior Solutions became a 100% Employee-Owned Trust (EOT) in July 2023 – a move that energised & galvanised our entire team!

The ‘Employee Owned Rising Star of the Year’ award recognises the success of an organisation that has become employee owned on or after 1 July 2022 but is already demonstrating and evidencing an EO advantage through its approach to engagement, culture, and representation.

James de le Vingne, Chief Executive of the eoa, said:

“The calibre of applications show the remarkable accomplishments of employee owned businesses at various stages of EO from regions and industries across the UK.

“These proudly employee owned businesses are leading the way in developing Great EO practices, delivering increased employee wellbeing and business performance, and contributing to People Powered Growth in the UK.”

Cristín Craig, Senior Legal Manager, Baxendale Employee Ownership, said:

“We are delighted to return as sponsor for the UK Employee Ownership Awards – the awards began in their current form in 2015, celebrating EO pioneers and EO excellence rooted in the legacy of our founder Philip Baxendale.

“Over the last decade, Baxendale Employee Ownership has been at the forefront of supporting the EO sector grow in scale, pace, and impact along with elevating the awards to an exceptional showcase of Great EO practices that drive greater productivity and growth. We cannot wait to celebrate with the amazing businesses and employee owners synonymous with this thriving sector.”
