YOUR HOSTS FOR THE DAY MATT MANNERS - CEO & FOUNDER THE EE AWARDS Matt believes that competition is healthy and recognition vital. That is why he founded The Employee Engagement Awards in 2014 - to shine a light on and celebrate the great work that was being ignored internally/externally and to help educate those seeking to improve the world of work. In four years, The EE Awards have established themselves in North America, Europe, Australasia and Africa, adding a conference and content element to aid the education process along the way. It is this global insight from the world’s biggest businesses such as Ford, MetLife, Delta, DHL, BMW etc. that provides Matt with a unique insight into all facets of Employee Experience as it continues to evolve and improve.

2018 - COMPANY OF THE YEAR
ADE CHEATHAM
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Ade started his career in a national accountancy firm and despite progressing quickly felt frustrated by the bureaucracy, politics and shocking communication. In 2003, he joined Cooper Parry, a 150 year old accounting firm, at a time when the older partners were retiring and a new group of ‘thirty-somethings’ came together. We were young, driven and ambitious and wanted to rebel. We wanted to create something very different. To make our mark and build the sort of business that we would all want to work for. Something remarkable. So we ripped up the rulebook, followed our hearts and started to challenge every stereotype that people had of accountants. 14 years later Cooper Parry is the fastest growing firm of accountants in the country, the Sunday Times 12th Best Company to work for in the UK and the British Accountancy Awards Most Innovative Firm of the Year. Come and hear how Ade and his colleagues took a 150 year old, very traditional accounting business and created the ‘Google’ of their profession, by putting people and culture first. With a mission to ‘Disrupt, Lead and Make Life Count’.
