Peak, a pioneering AI company, announced today that it has been named as one of the Sunday Times’ Top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, entering the list for the first time and ranking straight in at 45th place.

In addition, Peak made the list of the The Best Companies to Work For in the North West, coming straight in at number 20.

 

Survey responses from its own team placed Peak in the top bracket of companies with the Best Companies 3-star accreditation, which recognises extraordinary levels of employee engagement. 

We started Peak with the mission to build an amazing company that everyone loves being part of, and to help our customers do great things with data,” commented Richard Potter, co-founder and CEO of Peak. 

“For our staff to overwhelmingly say they feel valued and care for each other at Peak is a fantastic achievement for the entire team. At Peak, we want to build the best company in the world to be a part of, with a high degree of trust, empowerment and commitment to wellbeing. We’re aiming to create a sustainable, high-performance culture that becomes the company’s competitive advantage as we grow. Our amazing achievement in this year’s Best Companies survey shows that we are on the right path and our hard work is paying off.

Peak puts culture at the heart of its mission and company strategy. The Best Companies survey found that 100% of Peak’s employees agreed that the experience they gain from their job is valuable for their future, that the people in their team care for each other, and that they can make a valuable contribution to the success of the organisation.
