The Brightstar Group has been named as the number one Best Small Company to work for in the UK by the Sunday Times for the second consecutive year.

The Brightstar Group which also incorporates Sirius Property Finance, secured a best companies score of 874.2 for people engagement this year, compared to the 844 it achieved last year when it won both the Best Small Company to work for in the UK and the Best Overall Company to work for in the East of England.

The organisation also received a Three Star Best Companies accreditation; the highest quality mark possible.

Clare Jupp (pictured), people development director at Brightstar Financial, said: “It is very hard to express how absolutely delighted and proud I am feeling right now. It was an incredible achievement to have won last year at the first time of asking, but to win for a second consecutive year is utterly amazing and is testament to the unbelievable dedication of our people and their appetite to improve.

“I would really like to thank our team who share an outstanding attitude to work and full commitment to giving a fantastic service experience to our introducers and clients. We believe that we have created a working environment and business culture where there is a strong sense of belonging and where our people feel cared for, motivated and rewarded for their contribution and achievement, but we are conscious that we cannot rest on our laurels, so to build on our fantastic performance from last year is particularly pleasing.”
