Budget gym business Gym Group has been recognised as a top employer by Best Companies, the organisation behind the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work For List.

Gym Group has been granted three stars under the organisation’s accreditation scheme, which is based on workplace engagement and determined through an organisation questionnaire and employee survey.

Gym Group chief executive John Treharne said: “The staff are absolutely our key asset and we work hard to ensure we provide all the support and development they need to feel happy, content and rewarded in their day to day roles.”

The Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work For List will be announced at a London awards ceremony on 27 February and will be made public on the Sunday Times website in March.
