We’ve got something to shout about, AGAIN!…
Outrank has been named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025!
This isn’t just a nice headline. It means we’re doing something right: putting our people at the heart of everything – Putting YOU first!
What This Means for Team Outrank
We’ve been recognised in the “Best Small Places to Work” category, which highlights companies with 10 to 49 employees who genuinely care about their staff. Outrank has 44 team members, and everyone helped make this happen.
The results come from a detailed survey run by WorkL, which measures what makes people happy at work. What were the six areas they examined?
- Reward and recognition
- Pride in their work
- Communication
- Trust and responsibility
- Wellbeing
- Job satisfaction
We ranked highly across the board, which tells us we’re building something that works, not just on paper.
Built Around People, Not Just Process
We’ve always said happy teams do better work. That’s why we’ve made flexibility, well-being, and support part of our operation, not an afterthought.
Whether it’s remote working, flexible hours, or access to private healthcare and mental health support, we focus on what people need to feel good and do their best.
“We’re incredibly proud to be named one of the best small places to work in the UK,” said founder Stephen Robinson.
“This speaks volumes about the culture we’ve built in Middlesbrough. We’re here to make a difference for our clients and each other.”
Going Beyond Perks – This Is a People-First Strategy
This award didn’t come from beanbags and pizza Fridays. It came from listening to our team and building benefits that mean something:
-
EV and tech salary sacrifice schemes
-
EMI share options so team members can grow with us
-
Employee of the Month awards
-
A Zen Room and Podcast Studio in our new HQ (yes, really)
We also tripled the size of our office in May. More space. More ideas. More snacks. It’s a win-win.
“We believe the strength of our business comes from the wellbeing and growth of our people,” said Francesca Kosina, our Operations Director.
“This award shows that everything we’re doing to support our team is working.”
Why It Matters
WorkL’s research is clear: when people feel good at work, they perform better, stick around longer, and deliver stronger results.
That’s not fluff. That’s how we grow.
-
People who feel valued build better campaigns.
-
People who feel trusted push for better outcomes.
-
People who feel supported stick around and thrive.
That’s the goal.
