Roadchef earns 3-star status as world-class employer in 2025

Roadchef, a UK motorway service area operator, has achieved a 3-star rating in the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list, marking it as a world-class employer for 2025. 

This recognition reflects Roadchef’s strong commitment to employee well-being and continuous improvement. 

The company, operating 31 sites across the UK, earned this top accreditation after progressing from a 1-star rating in 2021 to 2-star in 2024.

Roadchef has implemented initiatives like early wage access, subsidised meals, community pantries, and interest-free hardship loans. 

These efforts have resulted in lower employee turnover, below 40%, and high internal promotion rates, with 65% of first-line manager positions filled by current staff.

Peter Cossar, operations director at Roadchef, said: “Achieving the 3-star accreditation is one of the proudest moments in my career.

“We’ve spent years building a fantastic culture and team environment, and this recognition is a testament to the collaboration of every Roadchef team member.

“Our team truly is the foundation of our business.”
