THE GOOD NEWS for staff at this property-investment group is that expectations are high for the new company headquarters. There are plans for a football pitch, tennis courts, a lake with woodland, and a social building complete with full-time chef. Mark Stott, the chief executive, has worked for 11 years at Select Property Group, which runs sites from acquisition through to building management. He believes the employee focus at the 70-strong Cheshire-based group ensures happy customers and prosperous investors — good news for two former retail bosses, Sir Stuart Rose of Marks & Spencer and Terry Green of BHS and Debenhams, who invested in the privately owned developer last year. The workforce has faith in Stott (98% positive, the top score among Best Small Companies) and are inspired by him (96%, second). They also have confidence in senior management (94%), believing they live the organisation's values of excellence and integrity (96%). Employees say they are excited about where the group is going (97%) and believe they can make a valuable contribution (95%). www.selectproperty.com
