MTD earns Sunday Times Recognition Award 2025

MTD Training is proud to have been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 in the Small Organisation category. This achievement is a huge moment for the team and a celebration of everything they have built together over the years.

The recognition doesn’t come from a submission or a judging panel, but comes directly from their people, showing the way they work, lead and support each other is not just being seen, it is being valued and appreciated.

Rebecca Finch, Apprenticeship Operations and Funding Manager, said “This recognition really means the world to us. Not because we placed in a competition, but because it came from the people who know us best – our team. It confirms that what we stand for is coming through in the way we work together and support each other every day.

“We’ve always said that a strong culture starts with trust. With purpose. With people feeling proud to be part of something that works. That’s what we’ve set out to create. A workplace where people feel safe, supported, and free to grow.

“This award is confirmation that the experience we want to deliver for our team is actually being lived by them. It matters because they told us it does. It also matters because it reminds us why we exist – not just to do good work, but to build a team that feels connected to what we stand for, to help people feel like their work has meaning and their voice has weight, and to know that their efforts make a difference.

“This award is a moment to pause and celebrate, but also a reminder to keep going, keep improving and keep putting our people first.”

The survey explored six key areas, including empowerment, recognition, information sharing and wellbeing.
