We’re one of the World’s Best Workplaces™ - again!


Yes, that’s right – Specsavers is officially number 12 in the World’s Best Workplaces™ list for 2025, climbing four places since last year!

Only 25 companies across the globe make this prestigious list, and we’re proud to be among them for the second year running. It’s an incredible achievement and a moment worth celebrating.

From day one, our ambition has been simple: to care for people and make a positive difference. Seeing Specsavers ranked among the best workplaces in the world is a humbling reminder of how far we’ve come – and how much that purpose still drives us today.

This recognition is thanks to every single person who plays a part in our organisation. Helping to change lives through better sight and hearing is a privilege.

Our CEO, John Perkins, says:

“This is such a special accomplishment for everyone who works so tirelessly to create Specsavers’ outstanding workplace culture. Our ranking among some of the biggest and brightest businesses in the world will inspire us to continue making life at Specsavers truly special.”.

This isn’t just a ranking – it’s a reflection of the care, collaboration, and culture that make us who we are. Every day, we strive to create a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired.

Here’s to continuing the journey and building a culture that cares.
