The company places a strong emphasis on employee well-being and engagement – demonstrated by its Investors in People Gold accreditation.

It is also a Real Living Wage employer and offers comprehensive training and development opportunities, plus generous rewards and recognition benefits.

This people-centric approach was recognised at the EDP Business Awards 2024, where it picked up the Employer of the Year award, sponsored by the Eastern Daily Press.

“Winning Employer of the Year was an incredible honour for us,” said Marie Wilkinson, head of people and organisational development.

“It validated the progress we’ve made to create a positive, supportive and rewarding work environment – and reinforced our strong belief in the value of investing in our people, without whom Richardson’s would not be the successful company it is today.

“The award was a moment of immense pride for everyone involved in our business and a truly humbling experience given the quality of the businesses we were alongside.”
