Cornwall’s Best Place to Work in 2025 Revealed – And It’s Active Plus

Active Plus ranked No.1 in Cornwall’s Best Places to Work

Active Plus has officially been named the best place to work in Cornwall for 2025, according to the latest results from the Best Places to Work in Cornwall programme. The recognition was revealed in the May edition of Business Cornwall, released in the first week of the month.

This top ranking highlights Active Plus as the leading employer in the county, standing out for its positive workplace culture, employee experience, and community-driven purpose.

Who are Active Plus?

Active Plus is a Community Interest Company based in Cornwall that uses the skills and experience of injured and retired military veterans to deliver life-changing programmes. These programmes are designed to help individuals build confidence, improve motivation, and develop a sense of self-worth and belonging.

By supporting veterans, inspiring businesses, and connecting communities, Active Plus plays a unique and valued role in Cornwall – and this award confirms that it’s also a fantastic place to work.

How the award was decided

The Best Places to Work in Cornwall awards were launched in 2023 by Business Cornwall in partnership with Best Companies Group. The aim is to identify and celebrate the county’s best employers.

To qualify, companies must:

• Be publicly or privately owned

• Have a physical presence in Cornwall

• Employ at least 15 people locally

• Have been operating for a minimum of one year

The selection process was split into two parts. The first part, worth 25% of the score, looked at company policies, practices and demographics. The second part, which made up 75% of the score, was based on anonymous employee surveys that measured the day-to-day experience of working for the company.

The results were analysed by Best Companies Group, who determined the final rankings.
