John Mason International is proud to announce that we have been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 by Great Place To Work®. Ranking 93rd on the prestigious Top 100 list, this is the first time our company has received this incredible recognition—an achievement made even more special because it is based on the feedback of our own employees.
With 5.45 million small businesses in the UK, securing a place in the Top 100 is no small feat, and it’s a true testament to the culture we’ve built together. Our team has spoken, recognising John Mason International as a company that values and supports them, fostering a workplace where people feel respected, included, and motivated.
A Celebration of Our People
The awards ceremony, held last night at London’s iconic Grosvenor House, was hosted by TV star Richard Ayoade and brought together businesses from across the UK that are setting the standard for workplace excellence. Speaking about the awards, Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK, said: “It’s fantastic to see John Mason International on our 2025 UK’s Best Workplaces list, getting the recognition they truly deserve. Your employees have spoken—highlighting your inclusive culture where all are truly valued and respected for who they are and what they bring. Your organisation sets the bar for workplaces where everyone feels they belong, can thrive, and meet their full potential.”
At John Mason International, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’ve always believed that the little things make a big difference, which is why we offer benefits such as birthdays off, a profit-sharing scheme, and a workplace culture built on support and mutual respect. This recognition reflects just how far we’ve come over the years.
A Word from Simon Hood, Owner of John Mason International

Whether it’s small touches like giving employees their birthdays off or our commitment to sharing success through our profit-share scheme, we know that a happy and supported team is the foundation of a great business. This award is a recognition of that ethos, and I couldn’t be prouder.”
