Recognition and good PR is hugely valuable for businesses, and a fantastic way to grow your customer base, customer loyalty and revenue. And winning a place on a list is a fantastic way to do this.

There are many lists out there; top UK companies, the best companies to work for, top tech companies etc. Some require you to nominate your business yourself, others use market data to reach a decision. Either way, getting your business on a list is a great achievement.

BENEFITS OF FEATURING ON A LIST

Most lists are partnered with national press or industry magazines and will run a feature on the businesses who have made the list – a PR opportunity you would have to pay a lot of money for!

If you’ve made the list, you will usually receive a logo, and a trophy, to display on all your marketing materials, website and emails. It is a fantastic selling point that shows to clients, stakeholders and employees you have been recognised as a good company, and are trustworthy.

We’ve compiled a list of lists your business could be featured on, take a look below and find out who has made the most recent lists;
