Time Finance has secured several places in the latest Best Companies rankings, underscoring its efforts to build a supportive workplace and strengthen employee engagement across its national network.

The independent lender was listed nineteenth among financial services firms and fifty-ninth in the table of medium-sized companies to work for in the UK.

It also achieved rankings in three regional categories: seventeenth in the South West, sixty-fifth in the South East and thirty-ninth in the North West.

The latest results follow a period of investment in staff development and wider cultural initiatives. The company has focused on training, internal collaboration and wellbeing, while also supporting charity projects, including its annual football tournament that raised more than £8,000 for the Ben Saunders Foundation earlier this year.

Ed Rimmer (pictured), chief executive of Time Finance, said: “We are incredibly proud to be recognised by Best Companies; the rankings highlight the strength of our culture and the dedication of our teams across the country.

“As we continue to grow, maintaining a supportive, inclusive, and positive culture is a huge priority.

“Our Best Companies rankings reflect the values we share as a team, and our commitment to creating an environment where people feel empowered to do their best work.”

Best Companies is regarded as one of the more rigorous assessments of workplace engagement, using employee feedback to benchmark firms on leadership, wellbeing, personal development and team cohesion.

Time Finance said it intends to continue investing in its people strategy as it broadens its support for SMEs across the UK.
