Active Prospects named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2025

We’re proud to share that Active Prospects has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2025, ranking 37th in this prestigious new category from Great Place to Work®.

This new list recognises organisations that put personal growth and professional development at the heart of their culture. These are workplaces where every team member – no matter their role or background – is supported to learn, grow, and thrive in a way that works for them.

At Active Prospects, we know that development isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about understanding what drives each individual and creating opportunities that reflect that. Whether it’s leadership training, new qualifications, or the chance to take on fresh challenges, we’re committed to helping our team reach their full potential.

These efforts are already having an impact. From our anonymous employee feedback, it’s clear our team values the opportunity to grow with us, to explore their interests, and to make a real difference.

Leadership that backs our people

Maria Mills, CEO of Active Prospects, said:

“Being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development is something we’re truly proud of. It reflects the ethos at the heart of Active Prospects: people matter. We believe in helping every person – staff and the people we support – discover their potential and shape their future.”

To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ list, Great Place to Work® evaluated each organisation’s culture, benefits, and leadership approach, as well as insights from anonymised employee surveys. Only companies achieving top scores in these areas earn Best Workplace™ status.

As Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, explains:

“Development is all about looking forward – it shows a commitment to an employee’s long-term potential. It helps individuals feel appreciated and plays a vital role in shaping a strong company culture.”

We’re proud to be creating a workplace where people are supported to grow, where difference is celebrated, and where everyone has a voice.
