Sandicliffe celebrated again among best companies by The Times

Sandicliffe, a long-established and family-run car dealer group in the East Midlands, has once again earned a spot on The Times’ prestigious list of the UK’s Best Big Companies to Work For - marking its second year in a row receiving the honour.

This year, Sandicliffe stands out as one of just two automotive retail groups to make the list alongside Motorpoint.

The award recognises Sandicliffe’s commitment to employee satisfaction, personal development, and fostering an inclusive, supportive environment for its 460-strong team spread across multiple dealership locations.

Among the reasons for its continued success are Sandicliffe’s standout initiatives in management training and internal career development.

The business goes the extra mile to celebrate its people - hosting lunches for Employee Appreciation and Values Days, and acknowledging key life events, religious celebrations, and professional milestones throughout the year.

Employees enjoy a generous benefits package that includes a minimum of 24 days’ holiday (plus bank holidays), staff discounts, and access to a cycle-to-work scheme.

“Our people are the heart of everything we do,” said Paul Woodhouse, CEO of Sandicliffe. “Being recognised by The Times for the second year running is a true testament to the culture we’ve worked hard to create - one where our teams feel seen, empowered, and excited about what’s ahead. It’s particularly special to be acknowledged on a national level, beyond the boundaries of our industry.”
