Whale is delighted to announce that they have
been included in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to work for list for
the third year in a row. The Best Company Survey is now in its 12th year and
Whale is again the only Northern Irish Company and only manufacturer to be
listed in the SME survey.
Whale, for its third year running, have been included in the prestigious Sunday Times Best Small Companies To Work For list and are delighted with this achievement. Given the difficult economic conditions, retaining the support and loyalty of the workforce has been central to the company’s continued expansion and commercial success. Adding to the delight of being listed in the 2012 list was Whale’s move up the leader board by 19 places to 77. Given more than 1000 companies entered, to have improved the ranking position by such a significant step adds to the accolade.
This year, Whale was particularly commended for looking after the wellbeing of its staff, an overall ranking of 8th reflects the faith in Patrick Hurst, Managing Director
and the employees trust in the “sound capabilities” of the
leadership.
Patrick Hurst commented:
“To be listed again in 2012 is just
fantastic for all the team at Whale. Our employees and their attitude and
loyalty is what defines the business and is core to its continued commercial
success. The Whale team are a credit to the company and themselves. They have
all worked hard together to continually maintain the quality and introduce
innovative, market leading products. The independent accreditation by Best
