Top 10 on Glassdoor. Again. Why it matters.

For the third year running, Glassdoor has placed us in the Top 10 ‘Best Places to Work’ in the UK.

Ryan and I value this recognition more than most. It isn’t a polished submission written by a marketing team or a panel of judges. It’s the raw, unedited feedback from the people actually doing the work. In a network of experts, that is the only metric that truly carries weight.

Trust at scale is the goal

We talk a lot about “Adult-to-Adult” relationships. It sounds simple, but as organisations grow, the natural instinct is usually to add layers, centralise control, and default to “management.”

We have deliberately chosen a different path. We hire experienced practitioners, provide the context and the alignment, and then get out of the way. Glassdoor suggests that this “trust at scale” isn’t just a philosophy in our handbook—it is the lived experience of the network.

High calibre, low ego

One reviewer described the culture as “high calibre and low-ego.” To me, that’s the defining characteristic of Equal Experts. In our industry, deep expertise and high-functioning collaboration don’t always go hand-in-hand. We work hard to protect that balance. It’s what allows our teams to focus entirely on the outcome rather than who gets the credit.

A model for the long term

Being 100% network-owned isn’t just a structural detail; it’s a competitive advantage. It’s what gives us the freedom to prioritise the right long-term decisions over short-term incentives.

A massive thank you to everyone who continues to shape this culture. We aren’t perfect, and we have plenty of work to do as we scale and evolve the network to meet new challenges, but being a Top 10 place to work for three years straight shows our foundations are solid.

Let’s keep building.
