Some awards are about what you submit. This one was based on what our own team said about working here.

We’ve been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services by Great Place to Work. For us, this recognition is so important because it is based on what our own team said about working here. Last month we were delighted that Shorts is officially a Great Place to Work and so we are now thrilled to go one further, receiving the additional news that our team scores have also classified Shorts as one of the Best Workplaces within the Consulting and Professional Services sector for 2026.

 

Great Place to Work

Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture, and its Best Workplaces lists are built differently from most awards in our sector. The result comes directly from employee feedback covering leadership, values, innovation, trust, fairness, support, pride and whether people would recommend the firm.

That matters to us because it reflects the culture we are building. For our clients, it matters too because culture shows up in the work we do. The people who rated us are the same people looking after your accounts, your tax planning, your year end, your funding decisions, and the moments where detail really matters. Good work is done by people who feel trusted, supported, and proud of where they work. Clients feel that in the care people take, the consistency they bring and the calls, deadlines and conversations that are handled properly.

To our team: you made this possible. You shared your experience openly, and this recognition belongs to you. Thank you.

For anyone wondering what life at Shorts is really like, this recognition says more than we ever could.
