We’re delighted to share that SmartCo has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™ 2026 by Great Place To Work® UK. The recognition is particularly meaningful because it’s based on feedback from our own people. We’ve always believed that great results start with great people. That’s why we’ve worked hard to create a culture where people feel trusted, supported and empowered to grow, contribute and make a real impact. And as we grow, maintaining that culture remains one of our highest priorities.
The award recognises organisations that are creating consistently positive workplace experiences for employees across the consulting and professional services sector. It is based on anonymous employee feedback collected through Great Place To Work UK’s Trust Index© survey, which assesses key areas including trust in leadership, wellbeing, camaraderie, pride and opportunities for growth.
One SmartCo employee commented:
“What makes SmartCo special is the people. Everyone is willing to support each other, share ideas and genuinely wants to see their colleagues succeed. It’s a place where you feel trusted, valued and able to make a real difference.”
The recognition follows another exciting year for SmartCo, marked by continued growth and an ongoing commitment to maintaining the collaborative culture that has been central to the company’s success.
We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services. While we’re passionate about helping our clients solve complex technology challenges, our success has always started with our people. We’ve built SmartCo around talented individuals who care deeply about what they do and about supporting each other.
What’s particularly special about this recognition is that it comes directly from our team. It’s a reflection of the culture we’ve built together, and one we’ll continue to nurture as SmartCo grows.
