ACC Aviation, a leading global provider of aviation services, has been recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in the UK, powered by WorkL, Small Business Category. The nationwide accolade honours and celebrates the UK’s top employers across different industries and sizes of organisations. The awards are calculated from the results of a 26 question strong employee engagement survey covering areas including reward and recognition, empowerment, wellbeing, and job satisfaction. To be successfully accredited, an organisation must score well in all areas and achieve a minimum 70% overall engagement score.
Philip Mathews, CEO at ACC Aviation, comments: “Our people are the core of our business and employee engagement has always been an essential part of our success story. In February this year, we marked a major milestone by becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), giving our people a tangible stake in the business and its future direction. To be named among the UK’s best places to work just a few months later, is a great achievement and validation of the direction we are heading in this key area.”
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 know that happy employees are the superpower helping them thrive.”
Lord Mark Price, Founder of WorkL adds: “Many congratulations to those featured in the 2025 Sunday Times Best Places to Work list. The recognised organisations lead the way in employee experience and will now benefit from improved retention and recruitment for the year ahead.”
