The mortgage distributor received a Three Star Best Companies accreditation and was praised for its “extraordinary” levels of workplace engagement.

Clare Jupp (pictured), people development director at Brightstar Financial, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have received the fantastic news that we have not only made the 2019 ‘Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to work for’ list, but that we achieved first place. This is an outstanding achievement that we are all incredibly proud of. It sets us above our peers and epitomises our Brightstar value of ‘we love what we do’.

“Because of this engagement, our team work tirelessly together to make Brightstar the very best at what we do, which of course is fantastic news for everyone who works with us.

“This was our first opportunity to be eligible to make the Sunday Times list and receive the Best Companies quality mark and we are so proud to have achieved such amazing things and obtained the highest ever placing of any organisation in our sector.”
