Harrison Drury has been named in a list of the UK’s top employers for a second successive year and gained its fifth ‘Best Companies’ placing overall.

We have been named in the Top 100 Best Mid-sized Companies to Work For list, placing at number 28 on the list, up from 67 last year.

The Best Companies mark has long been a trusted barometer of how an organisation engages with its staff because it is based wholly on employee feedback.

Conducted confidentially by the Best Companies team, employees are asked questions based on engagement factors like leadership, pay, wellbeing and other aspects of company life.

John Chesworth, executive chairman of Harrison Drury, said: “The best way to know if you’ve been successful in creating a workplace where people feel valued is to know what your people really think.

“The anonymous, independent research conducted by Best Companies certainly gets to the bottom of this. We’ve worked hard over many years to look after our people, to offer them strong career progression opportunities, and ensure people feel appreciated. That makes them want to stay here and do a fantastic job for our clients.

“We’re therefore very proud to have retained our place in the Top 100 Best Companies to Work for List and will continue striving to make Harrison Drury a great place to work.”

Our employee initiatives include physical and mental employee health checks, paid time off for staff to do voluntary and charity work, and a people management development programme to help managers develop their skills and better support colleagues.

We were named number 67 in the Best Mid-sized Companies list last year and also made the list for three years running between 2016 and 2018.
