The results were announced this month during a glitzy ceremony that was held at the Van Nelle Design Factory in Rotterdam.

Company Directors Scott Fulton and Tim Walker were "delighted" to hear that Huxley Associates had moved up eight places on this prestigious list above many household name companies including Accenture, FedEx Express and American Express.

Scott said: "As part of the assessment our employees were asked to fill out a survey with questions relating to the work environment and their opinions about working for Huxley Associates. It was good to learn that, even though we doubled in headcount, last year we still managed to maintain a very positive culture where people feel they are part of a great company.

"This year we hope, with our continued focus on driving excellence in customer service, that we will feature even higher on the 2009 list."

Every year the Great Place to Work Institute creates lists of the very best places to work in over 30 countries worldwide.  This year we also hope to make it onto the British list for the fifth consecutive year.

We are very proud to have been featured on the Netherlands 2008 list, particularly as the results show that our employees recognise that the excellent camaraderie within the company as one of our unique features.

In the last year we have embraced the feedback from the 2007 survey and have worked tirelessly to improve areas including our award-winning training programme and fantastic incentives scheme.

Now that the 2008 results have been announced, we are preparing to take on board and react to the comments made by employees in a bid to take the top spot in next year’s competition.
