Circles UK & Ireland, Sodexo’s employee concierge and workplace experience services business, has been recognised in four of this year’s prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces lists, securing a ranking for the second year in three of the categories – ‘Women’, ‘Wellbeing’ and ‘Development’ and for the first year in the ‘Retail, Hospitality and Leisure’ sector list.
Earlier this year Circles received Great Place to Work® certification for the second consecutive year by the renowned global authority on workplace culture for its continued commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment for all employees. The certification is based on what current employees say about their experience working at Circles UK & Ireland in an anonymous survey.
As a Great Place to Work® certified business, the results from the survey are used to assess the company in a wide range of Best Workplaces categories. This year, for the first time, Circles was included in the Best Workplaces in the Retail, Hospitality & Leisure sector list. It is the second consecutive year Circles has been included in the Best Workplaces for Women category, moving up the ranking from 31 in 2024 to 23 in 2025 as well as inclusion in the lists for Wellbeing and Development.
Michael Fildes-Peace, managing director, Circles UK & Ireland said: “This accolade isn’t simply about being the ‘best’; it’s a testament to the positive, supportive environment our amazing team has helped create, and it reflects the inclusive culture we’ve built. For me personally, knowing these results come directly from our employees fills me with immense pride. This recognition demonstrates our commitment to supporting and empowering our people and enabling them to provide exceptional services to our clients wherever they are based.”
As part of Sodexo, Circles UK & Ireland’s success reflects the organisation’s shared values and collective commitment to removing barriers and ensuring every employee has a sense of belonging and the opportunity to flourish.
