For the second successive year, Derby-based Midlands law firm, Flint Bishop, has been recognised as one of the UK's leading employers in a national survey published in the Daily Telegraph.

The firm has been included in the list of Britain's Top Employers 2010, which recognises companies with excellent HR policies - and it takes its place as an 'employer of choice' alongside well known brands such as Innocent Drinks, IBM, Oxfam and high street food retailer Pret A Manger.

Developed by the global research institute CRF, the Top Employer project uses international benchmarks to determine whether organisations exceed the standards found within the Institute's research. The results are based on a mix of characteristics including HR Policy based research, objectivity and independent assessment by Grant Thornton LLP, one of the world's leading accounting and consulting firms.

Commenting on the firm's inclusion in this year's listings, Ken Dixon, managing partner at Flint Bishop said: "To be included in this project and be ranked along side such trusted brands is a fantastic achievement for Flint Bishop LLP. Talented people lie at the heart of any successful organisation and we work hard to create an environment where staff are valued or given every opportunity to reach their full potential."
