BM retains Best Companies One Star accreditation for 14th consecutive year

BM has retained its One Star accreditation from Best Companies for the 14th consecutive year, reaffirming its position as one of the UK’s most consistently recognised employers.

In the latest Best Companies assessment, BM is also classified as officially as a ‘Very Good Company to Work For’ and ranked #55 Best Large Company to Work For in the UK.

The independent contract caterer remains the only business in its sector to feature on the Best Companies to Work For list for this length of time, following the most recent employee engagement survey results.

Best Companies’ One Star accreditation recognises organisations that demonstrate very good levels of workplace engagement, based entirely on confidential employee feedback. The assessment measures areas including leadership, wellbeing, personal growth, trust and organisational clarity.

Murray Soper, Head of People & Talent at BM, said:

“Being recognised by Best Companies for the 14th consecutive year reflects the consistency of our approach to supporting our people. This accreditation is based entirely on employee feedback, which makes it a particularly meaningful indicator of how our teams experience working at BM.”

Independent recognition based on employee feedback

BM’s latest Best Companies profile highlights the organisation’s long-standing commitment to:

Accreditation is reassessed annually, meaning organisations must earn their place on the list each year through independently measured employee responses.

What this means for clients

For BM’s clients, the recognition provides independent assurance that their catering partner is supported by engaged, motivated and stable teams.

In a service-led industry, employee engagement is directly linked to:

BM’s sustained performance in the Best Companies survey reflects a people-first culture that underpins the quality, resilience and long-term reliability of its client partnerships.

A long-term commitment to people and performance

Appearing on the Best Companies list for 14 consecutive years demonstrates BM’s ongoing focus on creating a positive working environment, rather than short-term initiatives.

The company’s culture is built around its Fundamentally Food principles and FOODIES values, with a clear belief that when people feel supported and valued, they deliver better food, service and experiences for clients and customers.

Retaining One Star accreditation once again reinforces BM’s position as a trusted, principles-led contract catering partner, committed to delivering consistent, high-quality service across the UK.
