Highly Commended for Best Practice Award
We are delighted to announce that we have received a Highly Commended Award for Best Practice at the Employer's Excellence Awards 2025, in association with Metro.co.uk.
The Best Practice Award recognises the business with stand-out cultures and best practices that reflect flexible working, workplace diversity as well as support for employees.
This recognition highlights our promotion of social mobility and equal opportunities for all, our work with Bookmark Reading Charity, the children’s literacy charity, and our encouragement for colleagues to use their volunteering day each year to help worthy causes.
Plamena Solakova, Talent Partner – Inclusion said:
“We’re incredibly proud to have been highly commended for the Best Practice Award for our work in social mobility, charity, and volunteering.
This award reflects our belief that true inclusion goes beyond the workplace - it’s about creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and giving back to the communities we serve. From supporting social mobility initiatives to encouraging colleagues to make a difference through volunteering, this recognition is a testament to the passion and commitment of our people.
Inclusion is not only about who we hire, but also how we empower, support, and uplift others - inside and outside of our business. I’m excited to see us continue this journey and build on the positive impact we’re making together.”
