My Definitive Guide to the Best Place to Work...

15/7/2014

I'm a sucker for those lists of best or worst places to live, or best schools or universities, or holiday destinations, whatever. Regardless of how ridiculous and meaningless the whole process is, I still can't help reading the list and then shouting out something like “Horsham, you're fucking kidding, right?”

Not to be outdone, I've just wasted half an hour compiling my own list of the places where I've run training courses or have otherwise worked. As with the above lists, this is based on little more than sweeping generalisations based on spurious criteria, dressed up in pseudo science and presented to you as the definitive guide to the best place to work.  Indeed, based on such rigorous evidence I fully expect Michael Gove would have turned some of these into Academies. 

And here it is in all its glory:

London 87
Bristol 82
Oxford 77
West Malling 72
Exeter 70
Croydon 64
Cardiff 62
West Bromwich 61
Birmingham 60
Swindon 59
Bromsgrove 58
Edinburgh 57
Altrincham 56
York 55
Liverpool 54
Redditch 53
Peterborough 52
Basingstoke 51
Reading 51
Swansea 51
Cheadle Hulme 50
Whyteleafe 49
Glasgow 49
Bradford 48
Leamington Spa 47
Chatham 46
Leeds 45
Manchester 44
Stockport 39
Romford 33 


I'm off to add Sunderland this week...
