Conosco is named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026

We’ve got some brilliant news to share.

Conosco has been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, recognised in the small organisation category. For a business heading towards its 25th year, this is a huge moment. Not because it looks good on a badge, although it definitely does, but because of what it says about the people who make Conosco what it is.

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is powered by WorkL and is based on employee experience, with survey questions covering areas such as reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, pride, job satisfaction, and wellbeing. 

That matters to us because this isn’t just an award judged from the outside. It reflects the people inside the business. Their experience. Their feedback. Their sense of what it feels like to work here.

The Sunday Times highlighted our use of Bonusly, our rewards platform where recognition points can be converted into cash, vouchers or holiday boosts. It also noted benefits, including our health cashback plan, employee assistance programme, annual leave that increases by a day each year, breakfast, snacks, occasional lunches, and our dog-friendly office. 

At Conosco, we talk a lot about service excellence. Usually, that’s in the context of our clients: the quality of support we deliver, the security standards we hold ourselves to, the way we help organisations make better technology decisions. But service excellence doesn’t start with a ticket, a project, a consultancy session or a security review.

It starts with the team.

Max put it simply in his announcement to the business: “Whilst our clients are of the highest importance, our team comes first. Without you all, we have no business.” That belief sits at the heart of this recognition.

Clients quite rightly expect a lot from their IT and security partner. They want trust. Reliability. Responsiveness. Sound judgement. Calm heads when something goes wrong. A team that knows its environment and cares enough to do the work properly.

You don’t get that by treating people as replaceable. You get it by building a workplace where people feel trusted, supported and recognised, where good work is noticed. Where people are encouraged to grow. Where colleagues look out for each other, where the standard is high, but the environment is human.

This recognition lands at a meaningful time for Conosco. As we approach our 25th year in business, we’re not just looking back at what we’ve built. We’re looking at the kind of company we want to keep becoming.

We’re also especially proud because this recognition reflects the UK team, while our South Africa team will have its own equivalent process coming up. They’re a huge part of the Conosco story, and we’re already looking forward to giving that the same energy.

A strong workplace culture is not a “nice to have” in managed IT and cybersecurity. It directly affects the quality, consistency and care behind the service. When teams are engaged, supported and proud of where they work, clients feel the difference. Communication is better. Ownership is stronger. Problems are handled with more care. The relationship becomes more than a contract.

So yes, we’re going to enjoy this one.

We’re proud of the recognition. We’re proud of the team. We’re proud of the business we’re building together.

Most of all, we’re grateful.

To every person at Conosco who contributes to the culture, supports a colleague, solves difficult problems, takes pride in the details, keeps clients moving, and helps make this a place people genuinely want to work: this is yours.

We made The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.

And that feels pretty special.
