Kingston Technology Ranks 18th In Best Places To Work In The UK
[28 April 2004] Kingston Technology has today been ranked in 18th place in the 50 Best Workplaces in the UK 2004, by the Great Place to Work® Europe Consortium in conjunction with the Financial Times.

The Great Place to Work® Europe Consortium commented, "Kingston Technology has again demonstrated a clear commitment to the training and support of its employees. This has resulted in excellent ratings from its employees, which sees the company again listed for the second year in succession in the 50 Best Places to Work in the UK."

Ann Keefe, Head of UK & Ireland Sales at Kingston Technology commented on the company's continued success, "We are delighted to have been placed 18th in the Best Places to Work in the UK, making the top 50 for the second time. We are proud that our employees are so engaged and supportive of the company.

"As the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products, Kingston Technology's success is built on a highly motivated workforce. We have always put people before profits and today's ranking is a true reflection of how valued our staff feel."

The surveys were based on The Great Place to Work model, which was composed of a Trust Index questionnaire and a Culture Audit. The Trust Index contained 53 questions principally focusing on the employees' pride in work and trust of management. The confidentiality of the questionnaires was guaranteed with the employees mailing their responses directly to the Institute of Social and Ethical AccountAbility, the UK research partner.
