Sunday Times Best Companies To Work For 2008 BDO Stoy Hayward has yet again been recognised for being a great place to work. The firm has made another successful entry into the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2008. This year the firm came in at number 62 in the listing of the UK's top employers.

UK Business Superbrands 2008 The Business Superbrands are selected every one and a half years from a vote covering more than 1,400 professionals through YouGov, the UK's most accurate online research agency, and an expert council. BDO Stoy Hayward was one of 500 Superbrands selected this year from an initial list of thousands of UK business-to-business brands. Both the council and business professionals were asked to assess each brand based on their perception of its strength in the UK market, and whether it represented quality products and services. Stephen Cheliotis, chairman of the Superbrands council, said “BDO Stoy Hayward continues to gain momentum as a brand; attaining Business Superbrands status for the third year running. The firm persists in impressing both the independent expert council and the wider business community with its excellent internal and external communication, whilst maintaining all important high service standards and customer affinity.”
