The 26 best CEOs in Britain, as chosen by staff

Glassdoor can reveal this year's top 26 CEOs in the UK.

null

The highest-rated CEOs in the UK have been announced by recruitment company Glassdoor.

Employees who chose to take part anonymously reviewed their CEOs on the Glassdoor website.

Winners came from a range of industries, including technology, retail and consulting. Only one woman made the UK's top 28. But that is partly a reflection of the demographic of major UK companies: in June 2016, only 9.7% of FTSE 100 companies and 5.6% of FTSE 250 companies had female executive directors.
