The Culture Leaders List 2021

Let's celebrate the UK's Culture Leaders

We believe that more businesses need recognition for everything they have achieved since the beginning of the crisis.

Inspired by the remarkable stories we were told by SME business leaders in our recent edition of the Culture Economy Report, we want to celebrate businesses across the UK who have put their people first and maintained a strong culture during the challenges of the pandemic.

Introducing the Breathe Culture Leaders List.

Recognise companies who put their people first

All our winners had to do to win a spot on the list was tell us why the deserved to become a top Culture Leader.

They explained their company culture in action, demonstrated how they've put their people first and got through a year like no other.
