On the 21st September 2019, Tullis Russell will enter a company team in the Christies 10K walk of hope in order to raise funds for the satellite care centre in Macclesfield.

This year – 2019 – The Employee Ownership Association (EOA) are celebrating 40 years of better business together while having set sights on the future and a target of three million employee owners by 2030.
The EOA’s 40th anniversary will be a seminal year, laying down the foundations for a new economic era where the impact of business on individuals, their families and their communities starts to work in the interest of the many, not the few.
As well as looking back at the foundations of the EOA and celebrating successes, once again they will use the stories of the brilliantly successful and diverse businesses from membership that are prospering as a result of transitioning to employee ownership to campaign for more employee ownership in the UK economy with key influencers.
The EOA was established in 1979 by English journalist, economist and social reformer Robert Oakeshott.
In 1979, Oakeshott founded Job Ownership Limited (JOL), a consultancy to advise on industrial co-ops and conversion to the employee-owned model. In its early life JOL was supported by the John Lewis Partnership and Scott Bader as well as those who Robert advised and supported to become employee owned including Scottish papermaker Tullis Russell and Baxi Heating, (now Baxendale) the domestic boiler manufacturer employing 1,200 people near Preston, which converted to an employee benefit trust.
Robert Oakeshott retired in 1999 at which point JOL became a membership organisation and subsequently became the Employee Ownership Association in 2006 – by 2015 it had 200 members and has since grown to over 350 members from across the UK including Tullis Russell.
