The motor industry was once again well-represented in the Sunday Times Best 100 Companies To Work For list.
For the 2016 list, 925 firms registered to take part, and almost a quarter of a million people filled out questionnaires about their respective companies.
In the best 100 mid-sized companies list, MotoNovo broke into the top 10, with a sixth placed finish. This was up from 14th in 2015.
Mark Standish, chief executive officer at MotoNovo, said: "This recognition, which comes from team member feedback, is testament to our business-wide capacity to create a customer-led business model based around an engaged and energised team, where every team member has the opportunity to enjoy a long-term career. I think it shows we are developing a very special and successful environment for our team and I’m very proud of every one of them."
In their feedback to the Times, 90% of MotoNovo’s 373 staff said they had a great deal of faith in Standish.
Zuto was a new entrant to the mid-sized category, and came in at 18th. Similarly to Standish at MotoNovo, Zuto chief executive officer James Wilkinson scored highly when reviewed by the brokers 317 staff, with 90% saying they had a great deal of faith in him.
Wilkinson said: "Our team of Zutonites has grown substantially in the last 12 months and we’ve invested an incredible amount of time in ensuring everyone can get true satisfaction from their role."
