Law firm Ison Harrison, Myerson Solicitors and Attraction Tickets are among the employers that have been recognised at the UK Employee-Owned Business of the Year Awards 2025.
Held at the Telford International Centre as part of the Employee Ownership Association (EOA) Annual Conference, the ceremony celebrates employee-owned organisations that demonstrate excellence in delivering employee wellbeing, driving business growth and productivity, and creating a positive impact on their communities.
Ison Harrison was recognised in the EO Business of the Year category for its performance between July 2024 and July 2025, and evidence of how an employee ownership culture drives innovation, performance, and long-term sustainability.
Other awards included EO Transition of the Year, which Myerson Solicitors won and Attraction Tickets was highly commended, as well as EO Rising Star of the Year and Employee Owner of the Year. Other winning and highly commended organisations included Coda, Grapevine Telecom, Melior Solutions, and 20/20 Project Management Training.
James de le Vingne, chief eExecutive of the EOA, said: “It’s never easy selecting winners for the UK EO Awards and it’s only got harder year on year. My fellow judges and I really had our work cut out for us this time around, and there were some truly difficult decisions to make. But I’m absolutely thrilled the winners have all been revealed and presented with awards in recognition of their effective employee ownership practices, Great EO impacts, and their contributions to the sector.”
Jonathan Wearing, managing director at Ison Harrison, added: “To be recognised and highly commended at a national level comes during what is proving to be another record-breaking year for the firm. This recognition is a testament to the outstanding collective performance and focus of our entire team of employee-owners.
“The move to employee ownership four years ago has set us apart from our competitors, fostering a unique culture of collaboration and incentivising performance, which, in turn, ensures our clients receive exceptional service. We are proud to be an EOT success story, and through our advisory service, we are now passing on this experience and knowledge so other businesses and their workforces can enjoy the many benefits of employee ownership.”
