Bodycote has been voted one of Britain’s Most Admired Companies in an annual poll by magazine ‘Management Today’.
Britain's Most Admired Companies is the UK's longest established business awards competition and Bodycote made its first entry into the league table this year at number 99, out of 220 companies. Bodycote was also ranked at number 5 in the ‘Most Admired Companies’ Engineering & Machinery sector.
Now in its 13th year, the Most Admired Companies league includes companies from all business sectors, including business to business and business to consumer companies. The winners are determined by a poll of Britain’s 10 largest public companies in 22 sectors, who are asked to rate and evaluate their peers against nine criteria: quality of management; financial soundness; quality of products and services; ability to attract, develop and retain top talent; value as long-term investment; capacity to innovate; quality of marketing; community and environmental responsibility; and use of corporate assets. Analysts at leading City investment firms are also polled.
Commenting on Bodycote’s presence in the league table, Chief Executive, John Hubbard, said: “Being chosen as one of Britain’s most admired companies is a wonderful recognition for all the people in Bodycote who daily provide excellent quality and reliable service for our customers. Now that we have achieved such status it will encourage each of us to strive to continuously improve our performance so we do not disappoint those that we serve.
