LEADING law firm Thorntons was crowned Best Large Employer for a second year running at Scotland’s Best Employer Awards 2017.
The firm, which employs more than 420 employees across its 10 offices, collected the accolade at the Business Insider Best Employer Awards in Glasgow on Thursday night.
Thorntons was also shortlisted for the Youth Investment Award.
Colin Graham, chairman at Thorntons, said: “We are delighted to be awarded this title and recognised at the ceremony for a second consecutive year.
“Investing in training and development of our people is crucial to the future of our business, as well as the legal profession as a whole, and we are proud of the services we offer to our growing teams.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
