Appetite for Business is celebrating after being named in the prestigious Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 list alongside household names such as David Lloyds Clubs, Octopus Energy and EasyJet Holidays.
Appetite for Business is the only Scottish Business named as a winner in the small business category and only 1 of 2 in Scotland across the category winners list!
A Commitment to Inclusivity and Well-being
The UK wide workplace survey assesses companies on a range of vital workplace aspects, including empowerment, job satisfaction, and well-being, recognising those who excel in creating an inclusive environment for diverse groups. The survey’s 26 questions included topics ranging from Empowerment, Reward & Recognition, Job Satisfaction and Information Sharing to Wellbeing and Instilling Pride.
Appetite for Business scores ranked at almost 100% at every level. The overall engagement score for all categories was deemed as ‘excellent’ at 99% and an incredible 25% higher compared to others in the technology industry.
Ethical Practices at the Core
“We’re absolutely delighted to be officially recognised for the second year as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work. It really says so much about how far we have come as business.
Sheryl Newman, CEO.
As a company with an ethical code of practice, our aim was to create a culture which treats our customers and each other with real care, support, and respect. By looking after our people, we can create the very best outcomes for our customers and this award is testament to that but more importantly for me I am proud of the hard work all of the team have put in to get us here. We will continue to look to get better, recruit and retain talent and help our people build a career here.”
Recognition and Beyond
Being independently owned and founded in 2016, Appetite for Business continually pushes the envelope in modern working practices, as demonstrated by our ongoing recognitions such as the Scotland IS award for the best digital workplace in 2022 and our BCorp Certification in 2023.
Our journey is marked by a conscious effort to not only lead in digital transformation with our expert Microsoft 365 consultancy but to also build and maintain an environment where our team can thrive and evolve. This dual focus ensures we provide the best outcomes for our clients while nurturing our internal talent.

To be named on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is a true recognition of excellence and I congratulate those organisations who made the grade this year.”
