Armstrong Watson listed in The Sunday Times' Best Places to Work

Armstrong Watson is proud to announce that it has been named in the official ‘The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025.’

This nationwide workplace survey, in partnership with leading employee experience platform, WorkL, honours and celebrates the UK’s top employers.

The list features more than 500 organisations across industries and scale - and highlights the best workplaces for women, the LGBTQIA+ community, disabled employees, ethnic minorities, younger and older workers, as well as those that provide the best wellbeing support.

For the first time, this year's survey also highlights the Best Places to Work in seven industry sectors: Business & Management Services, Hospitality, Technology, Construction & Building Materials, Financial Services, Marketing & Advertising and Non-Profit & Charities.

Paul Dickson, Armstrong Watson’s Managing Partner and Chief Executive, said “We’re extremely proud to feature in the Sunday Times’ list of the Best Places to Work in the UK.

"Our crazy goal is for Armstrong Watson to be known as the best Accounting and Financial Advisory firm to deal with, delivering the best client experience in the United Kingdom. We know we can only achieve this if Armstrong Watson is a great place to work, where our people are happy, supported, and engaged.

Receiving this recognition is hugely important to us as we aim to foster a working environment where staff feel valued, empowered and are given opportunities to progress in their careers. Being one of the best places to work in the UK will also be an added pull for those looking to join us in the future.”

The Sunday Times partnered with WorkL to deliver fresh insights into what makes a Best Place to Work. The employee engagement survey, developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders and academics, accurately monitors employee engagement, wellbeing and discretionary effort in the workplace.

To achieve a high overall engagement score, an organisation must score well across a six-step framework in areas of reward and recognition, instilling pride, information sharing, empowerment, wellbeing and job satisfaction.

Zoe Thomas, editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work, said: "The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is the UK’s biggest survey of employee engagement, compiled in partnership with workplace expert WorkL. Spanning a raft of sectors and located throughout the UK, the organisations in this year’s list range from innovative start-ups with a handful of employees to big multinational corporations staffed by thousands. These organisations know that happy employees are the superpower helping them thrive.”
