Commenting on the accolade, Stephen Johnson stated: “We have worked tirelessly to create a company culture that puts the individual first. Whilst we value hard work and expect a lot from our staff, we make it a priority to nurture talent through training and development and are always quick to praise and celebrate achievements.

“My goal has always been to create an environment where people can bring their whole selves to work and as such, are seen, valued and empowered to grow in ability and confidence.

“We pour resources into training and staff wellbeing and understand that by investing in our people, they in turn will give back a hundred-fold.”

Johnson continued: “Our company success and enormous growth over the past decade in large part is due to our dedicated and loyal employees.

“Their commitment to succeed is extraordinary and I am honoured to work with each one of them.

“To be recognised by the Sunday Times as one of the best places to work in the whole country, based on responses from our own employees, is truly phenomenal and incredibly humbling.”
