This is a standout submission that clearly demonstrates a strong and authentic culture underpinned by a clear purpose. It is particularly encouraging to see colleagues actively involved in refining the organisation’s values, reinforcing the sense that culture is something shaped with employees rather than imposed. The principle of “default to openness – why wouldn’t we tell our people?” is a simple but powerful signal of a genuinely people-first mindset.

Truly distinctive – the Rebel identity isn’t just branding, it drives real innovation like body-doubling and AI coaching. Preserving culture through 19 acquisitions whilst growing eNPS is remarkable.

A really good submission. It was good to understand how the values were developed and Cooper Parry is cleary a great place to work. Good to see that the wellbeing programme is regularly reviewed and adapted based on employee feedback and their needs. And lots of great activity in the DEI space – again with input from employees and across the employee lifecycle.

A fantastic entry and an example to many other organisations. Great to see and read about how your culture has been your north star as you’ve continued to grow through acquisition.

This is a really strong submission. Love the values and employee involvement in it. Very strong employee proposition and clearly an organisation that believes (and lives the belief) that employees drive the value. Cooper Parry sounds like a great business.
