The Employee Share Ownership Centre is a non profit subscription based organisation which draws from over 20 years of experience to inform, lobby and research in the interest of developing all forms of broad-based employee share ownership plans in the UK and Europe. Through its work with governments, the European Commission and other organisations, the Centre has made employee share ownership an important issue from the workplace to the boardroom. A wide range of service benefits are offered to Centre members who include quoted and unquoted companies operating, developing or interested in establishing Esops, as well as professional experts from law and accountancy firms, banks, consultants and trustees. These members are able to communicate their needs to government through the Centre’s regular meetings, web site and conferences, which provide a forum for new initiatives.
