Work at height specialist Planet Platforms has achieved the ‘First Class Star Status’ in the Best Companies 2009 accreditation system. The Best Companies accreditation is used to compile the prestigious Sunday Times list of 100 Best Companies to Work For.

The accreditation is awarded based on confidential employee answers to the Best Companies Survey, which includes factors fundamental in driving employee satisfaction and engagement with employers. These factors include: Leadership, personal growth, well-being, and the relationship with management and colleagues.

Marketing Manager Tim Mee said, “We were awarded the ‘one to watch’ status last year so to have worked our way up to First Class status makes us feel very proud.”

“Planet constantly strives to promote positivism within the company and seek innovative ways to take the business forward. This is especially important in difficult times such as what we’re experiencing.”
