THE firm behind Ayrshire’s Elliots and Scotts venues has been named one of this year’s Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Prestwick-based Buzzworks Holdings, whose newest outlet – The Mill House – opened in Stewarton late last year, gained the recognition as a result of a staff survey about  their workplace.

The company, which is run by siblings Alison, Colin and Kenny Blair, has eight venues across Ayrshire and employs more than 400 people.

Kenny said Buzzworks’ place on The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list is an outstanding achievement for the firm.

“What is especially pleasing about this particular award is that there are no judges,” he said.

“Instead our staff complete an anonymous questionnaire and we are compared and benchmarked with some of the UK’s best known companies; only the top 100 make the list.

“We have a fantastic group of people working within our business and they are central to our ongoing success and growth.”

Buzzworks will discover its ranking in the top 100 at an awards ceremony in London on February 25.
