Sunday Times workplace accolade for Performances Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM Town Hall and Symphony Hall staff  are celebrating success after learning the company has been named one of the UK’s Top 100 Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For in the not-for-profit category. 

Performances Birmingham Limited, the registered charity which manages Town Hall  and Symphony Hall, was awarded Best Companies’ One Star Accreditation in the not-for-profit category, and 68th place on the prestigious Top 100 list. The organisation was the only music and arts charity to feature in the final selection.

The announcement was made at a celebratory dinner at Battersea Park Events Arena in London.

The commendation recognises the company’s commitment to its workforce and to making the day-to-day working life of its staff the best it can be. The Top 100 is compiled from a detailed independent employee survey, conducted by Best Companies, which looks at aspects of workplace performance and best practice in eight key areas including leadership, well-being and personal growth. 

Andrew Jowett, director of Performances Birmingham, said: “This is a great achievement for any company, and particularly welcome for us in Symphony Hall’s 21st anniversary year. Our staff are our greatest asset and fundamental to our ability to deliver the world class performances and superbly professional service for which Town Hall & Symphony Hall are known.”
