Walsall-based Keyfuels has achieved 'one to watch' status in the prestigious Best Companies accreditation scheme, which follows an elite 'Michelin style' star rating system for organisations that demonstrate high levels of employee engagement.

The company, which employs over 50 people at its headquarters on the Premier Business Park in Walsall, is the leading fuel card and fuel management solutions provider in the UK.  This involves managing billions of litres of fuel each year and providing state-of-the-art fuel management programmes to some of Europe's largest fleet operators.

Best Companies Accreditation was established to acknowledge excellence in the workplace and feeds in to the prestigious Sunday Times 'Best Companies to Work for in the UK'. It is awarded following the analysis of questions within the Best Companies employee survey.

The award was presented to Keyfuels' Service and Operations Director, Peter McCarthy, by Jonathan Austin, founder and CEO of Best Companies. Peter commented: "This award is based on staff feedback, making it a true reflection of how our employees feel about the business. At Keyfuels, we recognise that the biggest assets any company can have are its people and we work hard to ensure that we communicate effectively with all staff and that our business is a happy and healthy place to work."  

Jonathan Austin, founder and CEO of Best Companies said: "I would like to congratulate Keyfuels on their outstanding achievement. This year it is encouraging to see that more and more organisations are recognising the value of employee engagement and are willing to benchmark themselves against the best to ensure they are offering their employees the best possible experience. Organisations like Keyfuels have continued to focus on their employees and have been rewarded with an engaged workforce who tell us that this is a great place to work."
