Moving up the rankings to 47th place in their second year of entering, Black Sun is proud to be recognised yet again, as one of the top 100 Best Small Companies to work for by The Sunday Times for 2011.

The Sunday Times Best Companies rating is achieved purely on the opinions of the employee’s within an organisation which looks at a varying set of criteria from employee personal development to employee confidence in the board and the future success of a company.

Staff numbers have increased at Black Sun this year and so have the survey scores. Up from last year, 89% (85% in 2010) of employees say that their work is good for their own personal growth and despite the current economic climate, they continue to have confidence in the future of the company which has risen by 5% to 77%. Employees also continue to have confidence in the senior management team (89%) and 87% of employees feel that they can make a valuable contribution to the firm’s success.

CEO of Black Sun, David Christopherson commented on the award: “Once again we are thrilled at being listed as one of the UK’s top 100 Best Small companies to work for by the Sunday Times and are even more delighted that we have moved up the rankings to appear in the Top 50.

“Employee engagement is an integral and established part of Black Sun’s responsibilities and one in which we strive to improve year on year. By continuing to attract the top talent into 2011 we can provide the highest quality service to our clients and further develop the ambitions of the company. I would like to say a big thank you to every team member in helping us recognise what a great place Black Sun is to work.”
