TOP 50 PLACING AGAIN FOR FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK!

Fairbairn Private Bank has once again been voted one of the Best Small Companies To Work For, according to this year’s Sunday Times top 100 Listing published this month.

With offices in the IOM and Jersey, the company celebrates its inclusion in the Top 100 listing for the fourth year running, having risen to number 42. Fairbairn Private Bank is the only company to have continually moved up in the ratings for four consecutive years. The bank also remains the only British offshore island financial services organisation to be featured in this highly coveted listing.

The Sunday Times sponsored survey aims to identify the best employers in the British Isles, and is based exclusively on employee opinion.  It is the definitive guide to workplace excellence amongst small businesses and is the largest survey of its kind, growing this year to incorporate the opinions of over 32,000 employees across more than 500 companies in this sector alone. Staff praise the sound moral principles upon which the bank is run (87%, ranking 19th), and highlighted their belief that profit was not the only thing driving the organisation (81%, ranking 16th).  The bank was rated 12th overall for giving something back to society, and into environmental protection with a 75% positive score, its highest factor ranking.

Greg Horton, Fairbairn Private Bank’s managing director, commented, “I am immensely proud of all the effort and commitment shown by the team.” Greg went on to explain, “What is so important about this prestigious accolade is that the data for the ranking is taken directly from our staff and the result provides a powerful statement to the outside world about our workplace environment and commitment to our Group’s values. “

This latest accolade follows a long list of awards for the bank, one of which was the ‘outstanding’ accreditation achieved in this year’s UK Best Companies Guide, published earlier in the year.
