Last week the Best Companies ranking Big Reveal took place, and we are happy to share that Petty Pool has achieved some amazing milestones.
Best Companies recognise and celebrate outstanding workplace engagement. Their rankings highlight the commitment of UK companies to their employees, showcasing the significance of workplace engagement as a crucial element of organisational success.
Being named one of the UK Best Companies to work for is not just a unique honour; it also aids in attracting and retaining top talent while distinguishing companies from their competitors.
The rankings are divided into three distinct categories: National, which ranks the best companies in the UK based on their overall size; Regional, which highlights the best companies to work for in various regions of the UK; and Sector, which focuses on the top companies within specific industries.

Our Rankings at a Glance:
- National – Mid-Sized Company (75-199 employees): Ranked 19th
- North West: Ranked 34th
- Sector – Education & Training: Ranked 3rd
These rankings are not just numbers, they symbolise the vibrant culture and supportive environment we’ve created together. They reflect the joy of being part of a workplace that truly values its people.
