Educational resources supplier Findel has officially been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2026 by Great Place To Work?, the global authority on workplace culture.
The recognition marks the second consecutive year that Findel has earned a place on the prestigious list. This year, the company appears as part of the wider Manutan Group alongside its other UK subsidiaries.
Retaining the Great Place to Work UK? certification and ranking 76th on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ list highlights Findel’s focus on creating a working environment where colleagues feel empowered, trusted and encouraged to take action.
The accreditation is based on independent employee feedback and data from companies with high levels of job satisfaction, where colleagues feel valued and trusted at work.
Key findings from the survey show that 80 per cent of colleagues agree that Findel is a great place to work, while 92 per cent feel positive about the company’s contribution to the community.
The results also highlight strong confidence in senior leadership – clear indicators of Findel’s commitment to creating a supportive and high-performing workplace.
Commenting on the recognition, Findel’s chief executive, Chris Mahady, said: “Being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Places to Work for the second year running as part of the Manutan Group is something we are incredibly proud of.”
