All employees were invited to take part in the survey which covered far-reaching topics like community work in the local area, and employee wellbeing.

Managing Director, Michael Jefferies said

“I am delighted that Jefferies has been given a rating of “One to Watch” in the Best Companies 2021. There’s also some great feedback on how we can improve to make things even better!”
