Just ask anyone who works here. Their happiness is really important to us. Which is why we are excited to have been recognised for the fifth year in a row as one of the UK’s Top 25 Great Places to Work. As exciting is the fact that we’ve won Top Employer for the United Kingdom 2014 (our third time in a row)! So its official, a job with us is a great one. Why? We think it’s because we give our people the support they need to go for the big things they want in life, like a career, studying for exams or fitting a job around raising a family.
