we were so proud just to be included in the Top 100 list, but to rise so dramatically
in the list and to be awarded the Most Improved Company trophy is unbelievable.
What makes this award so special is the fact that 90% of the ranking is based on
the staff feedback survey – so this award really recognises what our staff feel
about the company and their role in it.’
