At EMR, our people make the difference. That’s why we’re proud to have been certified as a Great Place To Work® for the third consecutive year, across our operations in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany and the Netherlands.

This recognition matters because it comes directly from our people. Their trust in EMR, their pride in what they do, and their belief in the culture we’re building together are all reflected in that red GPTW badge.

We’re also delighted that EMR’s UK operations have been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing, Production & Transportation™ 2024. This additional recognition shines a spotlight on the positive culture we’ve built within a demanding, industrial environment.

“Our colleagues are the heart of EMR,” says Chris Sheppard, Group CEO. “For them to recognise EMR as a workplace that values them, that they trust and that they’d recommend makes me endlessly proud.”

Being a Great Place To Work® isn’t just about having the right policies in place or fancy perks on a Friday. It’s about nurturing a culture that puts our people first. From safety and inclusivity to opportunities for growth, we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Most importantly, our colleagues know that what they do has real purpose: every day, they help give materials a new future, driving the circular economy and protecting our planet for generations to come.

Great Place To Work® has helped us listen more closely and act more decisively, ensuring every colleague has a voice and a vital role to play in shaping the business we are today and the company we want to be tomorrow.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to making EMR not just a pay packet, but a place to grow, contribute and make a real impact.
