Back in October 2021, Cognition Land and Water’s shares were transferred to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), providing indirect employee ownership of the company for the benefit of all employees.
Last week, Cognition’s Chairman, Simon Thompson, and our Financial Director, Chris Smith, attended the EOA (Employee Ownership Association) Annual Conference. It took place at the Telford International Centre with 850+ attendees. The conference was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow EO (Employee-Owned) leaders and gain fresh insights into the future of employee-owned businesses. The sessions highlighted the growing importance of inclusive leadership, transparent communication, and building a culture where every employee feels genuine ownership.
