Eland Cables, a leading international cable supplier, is celebrating the success of being crowned the 13th Best Company to Work For in the Sunday Times Top 100 List 2011.
The Best Company to Work For awards 2011, announced on the 23 February, are based on the accreditation scheme run by Best Companies Ltd and serves as the biggest benchmark of workplace engagement in the UK. This years awards received record entries with over 291,000 employees surveyed from more than 1100 organisations.
Competition was tough, but Eland managed to not only rank 13 out of 100 on the overall list, but also received the ‘Most Improved’ special award, which recognises the company that has improved their results the most over the past 12 months.
