Law firm Withy King, which has offices in Swindon and Marlborough, has been ranked 58th in The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Mid-Sized Companies to Work For and awarded the highly sought-after Best Companies Two Star Accreditation.
The recognition is for its outstanding levels of staff engagement and its commitment to creating a positive working environment for its people.
The firm’s ranking was revealed yesterday at an awards ceremony in London and will be published in a league table in the Sunday Times this weekend.
Managing partner Graham Street said: “In recent engagement surveys, more than 90% of our people told us that they were either satisfied or extremely satisfied with Withy King as a place to work.
“We are extremely pleased to have been recognised on a national stage for investing in our people and creating a great working environment. Happy, motivated solicitors and support teams go a long way towards ensuring clients consistently receive the highest levels of service.”
