Brightstar Financial has been named as the Best Company to Work For in the East of England.

The Billericay-based specialist mortgage distributor scored 844 points out of a possible 1000 in the scoring system measuring workplace engagement.

Clare Jupp (pictured), people development director at Brightstar Financial, said: “This is another absolutely amazing achievement – I’m running out of adjectives and superlatives to use to describe us and what we’ve done. There are some great companies in the East of England and a lot of household names.

“For Brightstar to have been named at the top employer in the region, by quite some distance, is a significant accolade, possibly even bigger than topping the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For list.

“It’s testament to our team at Brightstar, who share an outstanding attitude, and the outstanding culture we have developed which gives people a strong sense of belonging because they feel genuinely cared for, motivated and rewarded for their contribution and achievement.”
