The list celebrates excellence in workplace engagement and is widely acknowledged as the most searching and extensive research into employee engagement carried out in the UK.
The results are based on employee opinions on how the company supports wellbeing in the workplace, gives something back to society, shows strong leadership and teamwork, provides opportunities for personal growth and offers fair pay and benefits. Only the organisations with the highest level of overall employee engagement qualify for the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list.
This year’s list confirmed Howes Percival in 23rd position (up from 51st in 2023) in the UK’s 100 Best Large Companies to Work For category. The firm achieved a 3-star Best Companies accreditation, the highest standard, awarded to organisations with 'world class' levels of workplace engagement.

Howes Percival’s Chairperson, Geraint Davies, commented,
This is an incredible achievement for the firm and a genuine ‘pinch-me moment’ for the management team and everyone involved in this journey we’ve been on for the last 10 years with Howes Percival. We set out to create the sort of environment we all wanted to work in and foster a workplace culture we could be really proud of, and I think this accreditation truly reflects those values and all the hard work that our people have done to achieve this.
The listing is based on employee opinions, so to get this reinforcement from our own people makes it even more significant. We’ve listened and worked with our people and as a result, we have invested in every aspect of the firm from our offices themselves to the IT, training and development, flexible working and remuneration and benefits. We were unapologetic in terms of positioning Howes Percival as a progressive, people-first employer of choice and we are benefiting now in terms of being able to consistently attract the very best talent to each of our offices.
Geraint concluded,
We started this journey because we knew it was the right thing to do, but in the last five years, ‘Best Companies to Work For’ has given us the framework and process to continue fine-tuning that strategy and sense-check what we were doing. It has been an invaluable aid in terms of getting to where we wanted to be, and I would recommend it to any firm.
