Hispec, a leading electrical supplier headquartered in Chorley, Lancashire has been officially named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 — a national recognition celebrating organisations that put people and culture at the heart of their business.
This recognition comes during a period of significant momentum for Hispec. In 2023, the company was named one of The Sunday Times 100 fastest growing companies in the UK. Since then, its team has grown from 12 to 34 people — with a continued focus on building an environment where everyone is supported to grow and succeed.
Neil Kilgallon, Finance Director at Hispec, commented:
“We’re a proudly independent business based in Chorley and we’ve proven that you don’t need to be part of a global corporation to build a workplace people genuinely want to be part of. This recognition is a reflection of the culture we’ve worked hard to shape — one where everyone gets involved, supports each other and shares in our success.”
In the last year, Hispec has rolled out several new initiatives to strengthen its people-first culture:
- A structured mentorship programme and career development framework
- A team of trained Mental Health First Aiders to support staff wellbeing
- Quarterly socials that bring the team together beyond the day-to-day
- Competitive benefits including private medical care and enhanced pension contributions
This award highlights Hispec’s ability to retain a strong, connected culture as it grows — and to compete with larger employers across the region, without losing its identity.
