TOP 8 RANKING FOR FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK
For the sixth consecutive year Fairbairn Private Bank has been
listed as one of the best small companies to work for and ranked
very impressively at number 8 in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small
Companies to Work For 2010, published this month.
The bank, with offices in London, Jersey, Isle of Man and South
Africa is the only company to have remained on the small companies
list for this length of time and continually moved up the ranking,
having originally joined in 2005 at number 93. Fairbairn
Private Bank remains the first and only bank to ever feature in
this highly coveted listing, an all the more extraordinary
achievement given the current financial backdrop.
Fairbairn Private Bank is shown as the highest ranking of the
six companies that have remained within the top 100 listing for the
last five consecutive years. In addition, 92% of staff feel
the bank is run on a sound moral basis and 90% state that the
leadership inspires them, both top 10 scores. The bank also
ranked 3rd for wellbeing and 13th for giving something back.
Greg Horton, Fairbairn Private Bank’s managing director,
pictured receiving the award from Richard Caseby, managing editor
of the Sunday Times commented: “I am immensely proud of our team
and we are all delighted to have moved up the ranking for the sixth
consecutive year to now feature within the top 10 businesses.
This award is particularly pleasing as it is a result of the
largest employee survey of its kind with over 964 organisations
involved and 230,000 employees completing the survey this
year.”
Mr Horton continued, “Our ranking at number 8 within the top 100
listing reflects what our staff feel about the business, and
underlines their satisfaction with their working environment where
we operate within our corporate values of integrity, humility and
respect. We are a highly motivated team
with a strong commitment to our clients, the personal development
of our people and to the advancement of our shareholders, our
community and our surrounding environment.”
This latest accolade follows a long list of awards for the bank,
the most recent of which was the Three Star “extraordinary”
accreditation* achieved in this year’s UK Best Companies
Guide. This incorporates companies of all sizes and
industries across the entire UK and Fairbairn Private Bank is one
of only 50 companies throughout the UK to have received the maximum
Three Star Status.
