Employer’s Excellence Awards | Metro
A National Spotlight on Workplace Excellence
The Employer’s Excellence Awards celebrate the organisations and leaders redefining what it means to be a leading employer in Britain today. Run in association with Metro, the awards honour companies large and small, that put people, culture and community at the heart of their success.
We are thrilled to share that The Billington Group has been shortlisted for Family Business of the Year at the 2025 ceremony.
“The Employer’s Excellence Awards celebrate the success of Britain’s best employers. This is a major event which shines a light on the success of employers – large and small – as well as the leaders, people and personalities who are demonstrating a real commitment to best practice. It is fantastic to be part of it.”

We are grateful to our colleagues for the care they show our customers, the communities we serve and one another. Their commitment is the reason we continue to thrive after more than 165 years. We look forward to celebrating at the awards ceremony in September.
