Bright stars
Judges said: “[NWTC] places great emphasis on internal progression that encourages senior managers to look for bright stars, during recruitment and thereafter, where regular informal talks and formal appraisals lead to the development of personal training plans.
“It progresses the hardest-working, talented and committed members of the team, and takes them to the top, regardless of previous experience. In addition, it delivers industry-recognised training programs for each member of staff.”
Some 88% of NWTC staff said their job was good for their own personal growth, 97% said their team was fun to work with, and 79% of they were happy with the pay and benefits they received in their job.
Meanwhile, the Alchemist was included in the list for the third consecutive year.
