This year’s strongest elements as indicated by our independent judges.

  • Employee Voice

  • Comment from the judges

    I think it’s brilliant that the vision of the founder of the business still goes on, to look after your people. To hold that culture and belief tight as a national brand is very hard, well done. It is clear that you put in a lot of effort to ensure your teams are having a great time, and feeling rewarded – such as the special days and events you put on during the year.
