By Global Consultants Review Team ,
Ryan, a global tax services and software provider, has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™ for 2026 by Great Place To Work® UK.
The recognition highlights Ryan’s continued focus on creating a workplace where employees can develop professionally while receiving support in achieving their personal and career goals.
The announcement was issued on September 4, 2026.
The recognition is particularly relevant to the consulting and professional-services sector, where attracting, developing, and retaining skilled professionals remains an important part of business growth.
Great Place To Work® UK’s recognition focuses on workplace culture and employee experience. Its 2026 UK Best Workplaces research analyzed confidential feedback from 285,000 employees across the United Kingdom.
For Ryan, the recognition reinforces its efforts to create an environment where professionals can build their careers while contributing to client work.
The company operates across tax services, consulting, technology, transformation, compliance, and other professional services. This combination makes talent an important part of its business model.
Consulting businesses depend heavily on specialized knowledge and experienced professionals. Employees work directly with clients to solve complex business, tax, technology, and operational challenges.
A strong workplace culture can therefore play an important role in attracting and retaining this talent.
Ryan has repeatedly emphasized employee development and workplace experience in its recent UK recognitions.
“When people feel trusted and are given the tools they need to thrive, they do their best work.” — Tom Shave, President of European and Asia-Pacific Operations, Ryan
This quote provides context for Ryan's broader approach to employee experience and leadership, although it comes from Ryan's August 5, 2026 Best Workplaces for Women announcement, rather than today's consulting workplace announcement.
Consulting firms compete not only for clients but also for experienced professionals.
Consultants often manage demanding projects, work across different industries, and collaborate with senior business leaders. Their ability to deliver value depends heavily on expertise, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
For that reason, workplace culture can become an important factor in a firm's long-term competitiveness.
Organizations that provide opportunities for learning, career progression, collaboration, and meaningful work can create an environment that encourages employees to stay and develop.
Ryan's latest recognition places this people-focused approach within the wider consulting and professional-services sector.
The latest recognition is part of a wider series of workplace acknowledgements Ryan has received in 2026.
The company was also named among the UK's Best Workplaces™ 2026, marking its seventh consecutive year on the list, according to a March 2026 release.
Ryan has additionally been recognized among the UK's Best Workplaces for Women™ in 2026, marking its fifth consecutive year on that list.
The company was also recognized among the UK's Best Workplaces for Wellbeing in 2026.
Taken together, these recognitions indicate that workplace culture has become an ongoing focus for Ryan rather than a one-time initiative.
The recognition also reflects a broader trend across professional services.
Consulting firms increasingly need to balance business performance with employee expectations around career development, flexibility, recognition, inclusion, and wellbeing.
For firms competing in a talent-intensive market, workplace experience can influence recruitment and retention.
This is particularly important as consulting organizations expand their use of technology and AI. While technology can improve productivity, skilled professionals remain essential for client relationships, strategic thinking, and complex decision-making.
A strong people strategy can therefore complement investments in technology and business growth.
Ryan is a global tax services and software provider focused exclusively on business taxes. Its services include tax consulting, compliance, cost management, technology and transformation, and other tax-related solutions.
The firm serves clients internationally and operates across multiple markets.
Its recognition as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™ for 2026 adds another workplace milestone to its growing list of employee-focused achievements.
For the consulting sector, the announcement reinforces a simple business message: people remain a central part of professional-services success.
