Bentley Motors recognised as UK Top Employer for 15th year

Bentley Motors has been recognised as a UK Top Employer for the 15th consecutive year, highlighting its workplace culture, employee development and wellbeing.

Bentley Motors has once again reinforced its position as one of the UK’s most resilient and attractive employers, having been recognised as a UK Top Employer in 2026. This marks the fifteenth consecutive year the company has received the certification, a notable achievement at a time of significant transformation across the automotive industry.

The recognition is awarded by the internationally active Top Employers Institute, which evaluates organisations through a comprehensive assessment of HR practices. Its certification process is based on the HR Best Practices Survey, examining how companies perform across key people-focused areas, including people strategy, work environment, learning and development, inclusion, and employee wellbeing.

Bentley Motors achieved strong benchmark results across several of these areas. Particular emphasis was placed on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, alongside industry-leading scores for colleague wellbeing. These aspects are viewed as increasingly important as the company adapts its workforce to long-term structural and technological change.

The assessment also highlighted Bentley’s approach to future skills development. The company continues to invest in EV-related learning programmes, inclusive leadership initiatives and production academies designed to support employees as manufacturing processes and product portfolios evolve. These programmes form part of a broader, data-driven people strategy aligned with business performance and employee engagement.

Company leadership has underlined that sustained investment in people remains central to Bentley’s success. Continuous learning, wellbeing support and long-term career development are positioned not as isolated initiatives, but as core elements of how the organisation attracts, retains and develops talent.

The Top Employer certification also reflects Bentley’s wider Beyond100+ strategy, which is reshaping the company in preparation for an all-electric future by 2035. Delivering this ambition requires not only new technologies and facilities, but a workforce equipped with the skills and leadership capabilities needed for the next phase of luxury automotive production.

By securing Top Employer status for the fifteenth year in a row, Bentley Motors signals that its people-focused approach remains consistent and robust, even as the brand navigates one of the most profound transitions in its history.
