This year, the Best Companies survey received 757 applications and surveyed nearly 400,000 employees.
Clare Jupp, people development director at Brightstar Financial, said: “It is very hard to express how absolutely delighted and proud I am feeling right now.
"It was an incredible achievement to have won last year at the first time of asking, but to win for a second consecutive year is utterly amazing and is testament to the unbelievable dedication of our people and their appetite to improve.”
