At Arthur, we’ve always put people first; whether that’s our clients, our candidates or the members of our team. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that, for the third year in a row, Arthur has been recognised as one of The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work in the UK.
Making the list once is an achievement. Securing a spot three years running speaks to the culture we’ve worked to create and the amazing people who make it possible.
Recognition that reflects the team behind it
Each year, The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work awards highlight organisations across the country that are leading the way in employee engagement, wellbeing, and culture. The rankings are based on detailed, anonymous feedback from employees, covering everything from leadership and development to inclusion, empowerment and purpose.
This year’s results from our team said it all:
- 84% job satisfaction
- 85% average happiness
- 83% confidence in leadership
- 83% feel empowered, valued, and proud to be part of Arthur
These results are a testament to the supportive, high-performance environment that every member of Team Arthur contributes to. Day in, day out. They’re a reflection of a team that believes in what we’re building together. A team that feels heard, supported, and inspired to grow.
“Being named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work for the third year in a row is something we’re incredibly proud of. It validates the culture we’ve all created. A culture built on trust, teamwork, and the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to succeed. We don’t just talk about doing things differently in recruitment; we live it, and our people are the reason why.” Dan Faulkner, CEO
What makes Arthur, Arthur?
At Arthur, we’ve created a culture where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow, not just as professionals, but as individuals. We offer a 32-hour workweek with flexible hours because we believe people do their best work when they’re thriving in and outside of the office.
Growth is important to us. That’s why we’ve built clear progression paths, regular career check-ins, and access to the tools and training people need to reach their potential. We support personal milestones too, with enhanced parental leave, sabbaticals, inclusive benefits, and a strong sense of belonging across the business.
But what truly sets Arthur apart is how we show up for each other. We celebrate every win together. And more importantly, we grow through every challenge together. There’s real pride here: in what we do, how we do it, and the people we do it with.
Culture is everyone’s responsibility
Our vision – driving positive change in insurance recruitment – starts at home. At Arthur, we know that a happy, motivated, and empowered team is essential to the kind of long-term impact we want to have in the insurance sector. Recruitment can be demanding and complex, especially in niche markets like insurance. But what we’ve proven, year after year, is that high performance and a people-first culture go hand in hand.
Our culture is what allows us to perform at our best. It’s what enables us to build long-lasting partnerships with clients and candidates. It’s what powers our growth, fuels our ambition, and helps us deliver industry-leading service; without losing sight of the human side of work.
One of the things we’re most proud of is that this recognition hasn’t come from a single initiative or campaign. It’s been earned over time, shaped by the actions and attitudes of every person across the business.
From our consultants and business services teams to our leadership and operations, everyone at Arthur plays a role in making this a great place to work. That collective effort is what creates an environment where people feel empowered to speak up, try new things, and bring their whole selves to work.
Looking ahead
While we’re proud of where we are, we know there’s always more to do. Culture isn’t static. It grows and improves when we listen, reflect and adapt. Guided by our commitment to excellence, we’re continually raising the bar to create an environment for everyone to thrive with initiatives that support inclusion, career mobility, and long-term wellbeing.
As we continue to grow our capabilities, we’re doubling down on the things that make Arthur a great place to work. That means:
- Continued investment in development and leadership
- Continued focus on inclusion, wellbeing and belonging
- Giving every team member the power to build a career with purpose
This award is a timely reminder that we’re creating something special. We’re not just insuring talent. We’re investing in it. To everyone who’s been part of the Arthur journey so far: thank you. This milestone belongs to you. To those considering joining us: now’s a great time.
