Leighton has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces by Great Place To Work® for a third consecutive year, coming in at number 9 in the Medium Organisation category.

This latest recognition places Leighton among the UK’s most trusted employers, following an independent and rigorous assessment process and an awards programme widely recognised for its credibility and impact.

Being named a UK Best Workplace highlights Leighton’s continued focus on inclusion, equality and long-term growth, supported by meaningful benefits and initiatives designed to meet the evolving needs of our colleagues. These include our work from anywhere scheme, enhanced pension contributions, private healthcare plan and continued investment in learning and development opportunities.

Great Place To Work determines its UK Best Workplaces list by analysing confidential colleague survey feedback, focusing on trust, innovation, leadership effectiveness, company values and the extent to which colleagues feel supported to do their best work. These insights are then benchmarks against the culture organisations actively promote, ensuring recognition is rooted in genuine colleague experience.

Only organisations achieving the highest scores earn Best Workplaces status. At Leighton, colleague feedback consistently highlights our strong culture of learning, individual development and knowledge sharing.

Commenting on the achievement, James Bunting, Leighton CEO said:

“Being recognised as a UK Best workplace for a third year in a row is something we’re incredibly proud of. It’s a strong endorsement of the environment our colleagues help to create every day, one where trust, collaboration and personal development are genuinely prioritised.

This recognition reinforces our belief that investing in people and listening to their experiences is essential to building a sustainable and successful business. As we look ahead, we remain focused on evolving our culture in ways that support our colleagues to grow, feel valued and do their best work.”

This award marks another milestone in Leighton’s ongoing journey with Great Place to Work, adding to a growing list of accolades across development, wellbeing, technology and inclusion-focused categories since first becoming certified in 2023.
