Employee-Owned Success for Gripple

We’re pleased to announce we've been shortlisted for ‘Employee Owned Business of the Year’ in the UK Employee Ownership Awards! 

Taking place on the first night of the eoa Annual Conference, the UK Employee Ownership Awards are the most prestigious in the employee ownership sector, celebrating the achievements of businesses that truly deliver people power.

Employee-owned since 2011, we are committed to putting our people first, encouraging innovation, passion and design to change the game for our customers.

Gripple is also represented in the individual category, with Group Product Manager for Bracketry & Clamps, Harvey Hancock, shortlisted for Employee Owner of the Year. This reflects Harvey’s continued hard work as a GLIDE representative, where he has been instrumental in introducing a number of communications initiatives including the popular, ‘Five things we learned from the board meeting’.

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.” 

Winners will be revealed at a gala dinner celebration on 26th November at the Telford International Centre.
