Clive Owen retains workplace accolade

A North East accountancy and business advisory firm has retained a nationally recognised workplace accreditation for the third consecutive year.

Clive Owen LLP has once again been awarded Great Place To Work Certification after 91 per cent of employees described it as a “great place to work”, well above the UK average of 54 per cent.

The firm, which has offices in Darlington, Durham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and York, received the accreditation following independent employee feedback.

The recognition follows another year of investment in its people and growth across the business. 

Recent milestones include relocating its Newcastle office to larger premises, launching an Associate Partner Pathway to develop future leaders and achieving Platinum status in The 5% Club for training and development.

Clive Owen LLP has also been recognised as an ICAEW Climate Champion, joined the Government’s Fair Payment Code and raised more than £17,000 for regional charities through fundraising and volunteering.

Phillipa Symington, people and culture partner at Clive Owen LLP, said: “Receiving Great Place To Work Certification for a third consecutive year is something we’re incredibly proud of because it reflects the views of the people who know our business best, our colleagues.

“Our culture has always been one of our greatest strengths. 

“We’ve worked hard to create an environment where people feel trusted, supported and encouraged to build long and rewarding careers, while giving them the opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

“The achievements we’ve celebrated over the past year are only possible because of the talented people we have across the firm. 

“This recognition belongs to every one of them, and while we’re delighted to receive it again, we’ll continue listening to feedback and investing in initiatives that make Clive Owen LLP an even better place to work.”

Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place To Work, added: “Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience. 

“By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Clive Owen LLP stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
