Great Place to Work

Becketts has been certified as a Great Place to Work for 2022®. This influential award is one of the most rigorous assessments of what employees truly think about their experience of working at Becketts.

Great Place to Work certification recognises employers who create an outstanding employee experience and are committed to creating a positive work culture where employees can thrive and achieve their best.

What is Great Place to Work?

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation. It’s an audit of the practices that create an outstanding workplace culture, as well as a survey of employees’ views of their employer.

What are the results based on?

Understanding the perspective of employees is key to building a successful workplace environment. To determine an organisation’s ranking, Great Place to Work® administers their comprehensive employee survey which represents three quarters of an organisation’s final score.

The opinion of employees is key as staff feedback informs the results of the Trust Index survey aspect, and a separate written Culture Audit piece analyses and evaluates the company’s HR, leadership practices, policies and culture. Businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.

What Our People Say About Becketts

I have been working for Becketts for only 3 months, but I have already established great working relationships. The workplace and culture are fantastic. One of the most things I enjoy working here is the TEAM WORK. Even when it is a hectic day, we all pull together where needed. Everyone makes time to listen, so I feel supported in my personal development and helped to overcome any difficulties. There is plenty of training available to help achieve my goals and to Grow. And the thing which impresses me a lot is the employees’ attitude, loyalty and the way The Employer takes care of people, both employees and Clients. I have never worked in place like that, and I would call it one of the best decisions of my life by joining Becketts.

Agata Atanasov

After initially being interviewed by Lesley and subsequently meeting Tracey, Karen, Frankie, and Martin, I knew I wanted to be part of the Becketts team. I was made to feel very welcome and included, and what really struck me is how important staff wellbeing and development is to Becketts. I joined the Employee Benefits team in November 2023, and everyone has been helpful, many proactively offering help and support. I enjoy the working environment, the work I do and feel very much part of the team. I think a great deal of Becketts as an employer and place to work and would not hesitate to recommend Becketts to others.

James Imhofe

I was welcomed into the Becketts family in June 2024. From day one, I have felt part of the team. After working remotely over the past 3 years, it was a great transition back into a warm and friendly office space. I have been equipped with all I need to succeed in my new role with the thorough induction process,. In my first month I have been to events such as a Women in Finance seminar and the Becketts Summer Social Never worked for a company with such an incredible focus on its employee’s wellbeing and personal development. Privileged to be part of a B-Corp company and Certified Great Place to Work.

Tanya Parker

Having joined Beckett Asset Management in May 2024, I can certainly confirm that it is a great company for which to work. Whilst I’ve known Sam and Tony for nearly two decades, all of my new colleagues have been friendly and welcoming with inclusion in office discussions and social events from the outset. Whilst Becketts is evidently a growing company, the strong organisational culture and the focus on wellbeing can be clearly seen in all offices and working interactions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Becketts to any individual considering or wishing to continue a career in financial services.

Ian Goodchild

I joined Becketts Operations team in May 2023, and I haven’t looked back. From the moment I initially spoke to Lesley over a Teams call I knew I would love to be part of the Becketts team. Throughout my interviews I felt welcomed and included, and what sticks out for me is how invested Becketts are in the wellbeing and development of their staff.   I look forward to coming into work, everyone is approachable and professional, and I feel like a valued member of the team. The support I have been shown from Jess, and the wider team, has been outstanding.  I would highly recommend Becketts as a great place to work. In fact, I have already spread the word.

Jo Stewart

From my first Teams interview, I really felt that Becketts was definitely the place I wanted to work for, which also was determined by their excellent customer service, B Corp status and many industry awards. From my first day in June 2023, I felt so welcomed and supported. Everybody is so friendly, caring, approachable and more than happy to help with any queries you have. Becketts provide fantastic learning and development support, so much so that I am now working towards the Line Manager role! I would absolutely recommend Becketts as such a great place to work, in fact I already have!

Sam Travers-Ashman

I joined Becketts having previously taken part in a week work experience during the summer, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I left my contact details so that, if a role was to arise, I would love to have an interview. A couple of months later I was working in the Employee Benefits Team at Becketts. Everybody has been very welcoming throughout the different departments, and I feel that I have settled very well into the team. I am looking forward to the future at Becketts and progressing throughout the company.

Ellis Edwards

I joined the Operations team here at Becketts around 8 weeks ago and from the word go I was welcomed into the team and the business as a whole by everyone. All of my colleges have been incredibly warm and welcoming and have always been more than happy to help with any work-related and general queries that I’ve had. The environment within the office is incredibly positive and professional with an emphasis on providing the best possible service for our clients. The outside of work social activities (such as the annual rounders game) are a real bonus as well!

Andrew Wilkinson

I’ve known of Becketts for many years and always considered them to be a great place to work. Now being on the inside and part of the team, it has certainly lived up to expectations. The clients and employees are at the centre of everything and that really comes across every day. Everyone has been extremely supportive and accommodating. The down to earth common-sense approach means I don’t feel like a number and already feel like I’ve been here for years, not months.

Anthony West

Having joined Becketts in July 2022, I was immediately made to feel welcome and a part of the team. All members of staff are friendly and are truly happy to help. All senior management strive to create an environment that is a pleasure to work in, and where everybody feels valued. The cumulative effect of this is a business where all can work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for the client.

Patrick Whelan

From the first meetings I had before joining Becketts with Ian, Gavin, Lesley and Mark, I knew that this was a business that I wanted to be a part of. Since commencing my role in July 2022, I have been made to feel part of the Becketts team and supported by all my colleagues. Becketts is a company that not only puts the client in the focus in everything they do, but they also care about the wellbeing and personal/ career development of their own staff. I would highly recommend Becketts to anyone looking for a great place to work.

Adam Woodward

I’ve really enjoyed my first few months being part of the team. Despite the fact that the department is extremely busy, the team have been patient with me and given me the time and guidance I need in order to settle into my role. A special shout out to Katie who has been amazing from my very first day! Companywide, everyone I’ve spoken with have been helpful and always happy to assist where possible. I have been made to feel very welcome, and it’s clear from my first few months that Becketts is a great place to work, taking the time to put their people first.

Samuel Vignaux

After my interview with Dawn and Jane, I knew immediately that Becketts is a fresh and invigorating company who doesn’t just say ‘we put our employees first’ but actually do. I left knowing that this is a company I wanted to be a part of. I have been a part of Becketts now for three months, and I have never been made to feel more welcome and valued with any other employer. I am forever thankful for the support and guidance I have received during my time, not only to succeed in my career but in the social aspects of Becketts too. To anyone looking to join a company where you’ll feel valued, part of a community and enjoy coming to work Becketts is the place to be.
