PKF Francis Clark welcomes Great Place to Work recognition

PKF Francis Clark has reportedly become one of only “a handful” of accountancy firms in the UK to achieve the international accolade of ‘Great Place to Work’ following a confidential survey covering all aspects of employee experiences.

It is reported that the firm has a growing team of around 850 people and 54 partners across its eight offices located in Bristol, Poole, Salisbury, Exeter, Taunton, Torquay, Plymouth, and Truro.  

According to Great Place to Work, the firm has been working with companies of all industries, locations and sizes for over 40 years to “help build and recognise high-trust workplace cultures”. 

In addition, its research has reportedly shown that a high-trust culture at work means a better employee experience, while also providing a business advantage in this competitive economy.

Andrew Richards, managing partner of PKF Francis Clark, said: “I’m delighted that we’ve received this independent recognition as a Great Place to Work. The best thing is that it’s based on confidential feedback from our people.

“Recruiting and retaining the best people to serve our clients is central to our success, and we pride ourselves on our friendly and collaborative culture. I’m particularly pleased that some of the areas we scored highest in were about treating people fairly, caring about each other, making people feel welcome and being honest and ethical.”

Amy Taylor, people director at PKF Francis Clark, added: “As the firm has grown over the years, we’ve worked hard to maintain the family feel that’s always been one of the main reasons people say they enjoy working here. Our friendly and supportive culture remains one of our key strengths.

“From health and wellbeing initiatives to social events, and volunteering days to leadership programmes, we’re always looking for new ways to nurture a sense of belonging and ensure our people feel valued, know they can be themselves at work and are supported to be the best they can be.”
