Screwfix rated one of best places to work for second year

For the second year running, national trade retailer, Screwfix, has been listed as one of the top places to work in the UK, in the annual Employees’ Choice awards conducted by jobs website Glassdoor.

The awards are entirely based on employee feedback and feature a range of industries from across the UK. From technology, retailing and investment banking to insurance, consumer goods and telecommunications.

Screwfix is listed amongst technology giants Google, Facebook and Apple, scoring higher than well-known brands Expedia, Microsoft, Royal London and Harrods.

Liz Bell, HR Director comments: “To be listed this highly, is an achievement we are extremely proud of. The fact that this is awarded based on our employee’s feedback makes it even more special. Over the past few years, our business has been going through a period of substantial growth, with thousands of new colleagues joining the Screwfix family. We work extremely hard to ensure our company culture remains the same throughout and it is very humbling to see our efforts recognised for the second time.”

Comments from staff reviews on Glassdoor include: “One of the best employers”, “Great entrepreneurial business” and “Good ethos and atmosphere”.
