Rappor makes The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 list
Pinch us. We’re over-the-moon to announce that we’ve made it into the official Sunday Times Best Places to Work List for the very first time in our history.
Published in the newspaper today, the official Sunday Times Best Places to Work list features a diverse range of organisations from across the UK. Rappor sits proudly in the 2018 best medium places to work category, alongside some good company.
Commenting on the achievement, Adam Padmore, our managing director, said:
“Honestly, I can’t describe how much this means to us all. It’s an ongoing, relentless pursuit to create a culture that stands way, way out from the crowd. We’re getting there, and this is further evidence of the effort we put into creating a ‘home away from home’ where our employees can live their best lives.”
In partnership with leading employee experience platform WorkL, this nationwide workplace survey recognises and celebrates the UK’s top employers. It showcases organisations leading the way in employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience.
This year’s Best Places to Work features 567 organisations across industries, split into (28) Best Very Big Places to Work, (126) Best Big Places to Work, (218) Best Medium Places to Work, and (195) Best Small Places to Work.
Furthermore, it puts a spotlight on the best workplaces for women, the LGBTQIA+ community, disabled employees, ethnic minorities, younger and older workers, and those where employees enjoy the highest rates of wellbeing.
Alex Wood, who heads up our People team, added:
“Being named on this list, amongst such impressive company, is a fantastic validation of the effort everyone puts in to make Rappor a great place to work. The most important marker for us remains seeing our teams happy and supportive of each other as they deliver work that we can all be proud of. But the recognition does give an objective viewpoint that we’re creating a special working environment here, and that’s a wonderful thing to receive.”
This year’s supplement also highlights top performers within nine industry sectors: Business and Management Services, Construction and Building Materials, Financial Services, Marketing and Advertising, Non-Profits and Charities, Retail, Health and Social Care, Technology, and Hospitality.
Zoe Thomas, editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work, said:
“In an evolving world of work Britain’s leading employers are helping staff forge careers that count today – and in the future. In turn, the Best Places to Work have the resilience to weather the current economic storms baked in, thanks to engaged workers who go above and beyond with a smile.
“Our winning employers span sizes and sectors – from tiny charities and specialist law firms, to multinational fast-food chains and utility giants, and everywhere in between. The thread joining them is the belief that a happy workforce is a stepping stone to better performance, faster growth, and bigger profits. More than that, there’s a collective instinct that a contented rank-and-file is a worthwhile business goal in and of itself.”
