Every year, we ask our team to anonymously tell us what they think of working here. Best Companies carry out the survey for us and have yet again recognised us as a 'outstanding' place to work.

The results and feedback help us to establish what we can do to improve the environment, working conditions and generally make people feel a lot more involved within the organisation.
Best companies to work for
Responses are completely anonymous we share all the results and feedback with our staff and we use a feedback to continually improve the working environment.
We were recognised for the eighth consecutive year in 2024 and were recognised as an 'outstanding' place to work as a result of our excellent engagement score.
Recognition as a best company to work for
2023's survey also highlighted the following areas as worthy of special recognition. Whilst private healthcare is a great benefit we offer to employees, we were particularly pleased to be recognised for 'women in senior management', having a high percentage of women in senior positions.
Matthew Fretten on employee engagement
"One of the things that is very easy to say is we put our staff front and centre of everything we do. It's a different matter when you actually run an anonymous survey every single year and ask your staff to confidentially rate you out of 10.
If we can’t measure employee engagement, we can’t really claim to have an engaged workforce. I’m very pleased to say through the Best Companies survey we’ve had some very terrific results. There is plenty of stuff to work on and we do take it very seriously and action all the things that come out of it."
