Ryan FowlerRygor Group has been recognised as a Great Place to Work for the fourth year in a row, following feedback from its employees.
The certification is based on anonymous staff surveys, which this year highlighted pride in the company’s values, rewards and cross-department camaraderie.
John Keogh, managing director at Rygor, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work for the fourth year running.
“It’s a reflection of the passion and dedication our team brings every day. Whilst it is always great to hear the positive feedback from our team, we don’t take part in this national survey just to hear the good points.
“The survey feedback also includes constructive ideas to help the business continue to evolve and our team’s engagement and shared commitment to growth is brilliant to see.
“In fact, over the past few years, we have brought in some of our team’s favourite benefits and recognition schemes based on this survey’s feedback, including birthday leave and enhanced maternity and paternity pay.”
Alongside the certification, Rygor has taken on eight new apprentices for the current academic year, underlining its commitment to developing future talent. The group is also celebrating the success of four employees who have been named finalists in the Motor Trader Women in Automotive Awards 2025.
Kate Ruberry-Shoemack, director of people and communication at Rygor and one of the award finalists, said: “I’m incredibly proud to be named a finalist at the inaugural awards which will no doubt be a brilliant event, celebrating the trailblazing women shaping the future of our industry.
“To be recognised alongside my fantastic colleagues, Emily Walsh, Samantha Bettridge and Emma Joyce is incredible and all these women are absolute superstars.
“This recognition isn’t just personal; it’s a reflection of the amazing work we do at Rygor to champion women in automotive.
“From creating inclusive career pathways to actively supporting development and leadership, we continue to push boundaries and open doors for women across the sector and have been proud to see a significant increase in women applying for roles at our company year on year.”
Rygor Group, which includes Rygor Auto, Rygor Plant, Rygor Service Solutions and Rygor Land Systems, said it remains focused on listening to staff feedback and maintaining a culture that supports both personal and professional growth.
