We’re thrilled to announce that Cytec Solutions has been named one of The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work! 🎉
Cytec is proud to be recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in the “Small Business” category. This accolade is significant during Cytec’s 25th anniversary, marking a quarter century of growth, innovation, and commitment to creating a workplace where employees can prosper.
Recognised for our culture
The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list highlights companies that excel in employee experience. It is determined through confidential employee feedback, alongside independently assessed workplace data. It evaluates key elements of the employee experience, including wellbeing, reward and recognition, professional development, inclusion, and leadership.
Cytec’s inclusion is a direct reflection of its people and the positive culture they have helped create. Founder Nick Chinn and Strategic Advisor to the Board Richard Nelson have played pivotal roles in shaping Cytec into a workplace where employees feel valued, proud, and heard. Building a strong company culture is no accident, it is a deliberate effort founded on listening to employees and consistently supporting and investing in the team at every stage.
Perpetual improvement
This recognition further reinforces Cytec’s core values of investing in its people and providing an open, honest, and supportive environment where employees can excel and develop their careers. It also reaffirms the company’s clear vision for the future, strengthening its ongoing commitment to continuity and long-term thinking: principles that have been central since day one.
Looking ahead
Over the last 25 years, Cytec has evolved from a founder-led start-up into a trusted partner for many of the UK’s most respected organisations. Being named one of the best places to work in the UK is a milestone to be proud of, but more importantly, it fuels the company’s drive to continually improve and build a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to deliver their very best.
Shervin Binesh, Chief Executive Officer, Cytec
“At Cytec, our people have always been our biggest asset. This recognition isn’t just about policies or perks, it’s about the daily dedication and passion every member of our team brings to work. While I’m honoured to now lead as CEO, it’s important to acknowledge the strong foundations laid by Nick Chinn and Richard Nelson before I joined as Commercial Director in 2022 and continued into my role as CEO today.
Being named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work is a powerful reminder of how vital it is to nurture a culture where people can truly thrive, innovate, and belong. I’m excited to steer Cytec forward with that commitment at the heart of everything we do.”
