Leighton wins Outstanding Workplace at the Dynamites Awards
Leighton has been announced as the winner of the Outstanding Workplace award at this year’s Dynamites Awards, recognising its commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive and supportive environment where colleagues can thrive and deliver their best work.
The announcement follows a period of sustained success, receiving its Great Place to Work® recertification this year and also being named as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in Tech and one of the UK's Best Places to Work™ in 2025.
The Dynamites Awards are the North East’s biggest annual celebration of the tech sector, recognising outstanding achievements across digital innovation, leadership, talent and transformation. They shine a spotlight on the organisations and individuals driving growth and shaping the future of technology in the region.
Reflecting on the recent win, James Bunting, Leighton CEO said “We’re absolutely delighted to have won our second Dynamites Award for Outstanding Workplace. Being recognised alongside many brilliant businesses makes this achievement even more special.
“This award reflects the environment our colleagues have created, one where wellbeing, trust, growth and collaboration sit at the heart of how we work. It’s a recognition of the everyday moments: supporting one another, celebrating successes, navigating challenges together and building a culture where everyone can thrive.
“It also highlights the strength of our region’s tech community. Our customers, partners and peers play a huge part in shaping who we are and we’re grateful to be part of such a supportive and inspiring ecosystem.”
Leighton was also shortlisted for the Growth Explosion award, which celebrates organisations achieving exceptional, sustained growth and significant commercial momentum in the tech sector.
The evening was full off success, with Leighton chairman Paul Callaghan also picking up the North East’s Tech Champion award, which recognises his leadership and contribution to the region’s tech community.
These awards reinforce the values that have guided the company for over three decades; putting colleagues first, nurturing top talent and building a culture where everyone can contribute their best work while helping to shape the North East’s thriving tech ecosystem.
