ALA Insurance Named One of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026

ALA Insurance is proud to announce that we have once again been recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list for 2026, earning a place in the Small Organisation category for the second consecutive year.

The company was honoured thanks to its dedication to an unwavering workplace culture and commitment to staff care, trust, and collaboration. Across all award categories, ALA achieved “Excellent” scores, consistently performing above both industry and global averages.

At ALA, creating a positive environment for both staff and customers has always been central to how we operate. From day one, our focus has been on building a workplace where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to do their best work.

Simon England, Founder and Managing Director of ALA Insurance, said:

“I couldn’t be happier to be honoured by The Sunday Times for the second year in a row. Since Debra and I founded ALA, a positive and caring staff and customer culture has been a key foundation to the business.

“Insurance can be an overwhelming and confusing industry. But we’ve remained focused on honesty, integrity and clarity, making our staff and customers feel valued.”

Why This Recognition Matters

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work programme celebrates organisations that prioritise employee experience and workplace culture. Rankings are based on independent employee feedback gathered through the WorkL survey, which measures areas including wellbeing, empowerment, job satisfaction, communication, and recognition.

The process gives businesses valuable insight into employee engagement while benchmarking performance against organisations nationwide. More importantly, it highlights companies that are genuinely committed to creating workplaces where people can thrive.

For ALA, this recognition reflects the culture we continue to build every day; one rooted in transparency, collaboration, and genuine care for our people.

Looking Ahead

While receiving this recognition is a proud moment for the business, our focus remains firmly on continuing to improve and evolve. We believe that a strong workplace culture directly benefits both our team and our customers, helping us deliver the honest, supportive service that defines ALA.

Being recognised among the UK’s best places to work for a second year is an achievement we are incredibly proud of, and one that belongs to every member of the ALA team.
