THE SUNDAY TIMES Best Small Company 2010
CAP has fought off competition from over 500 other companies to win the Best Leader award at the Sunday Times ‘Best Small Companies’ award ceremony. Building on previous recognition for excellence, the charity’s Chief Executive, Matt Barlow, and Founder and International Director, John Kirkby, have co-won the prestigious award.
Now in their tenth year, the ‘Best Companies’ awards have come to be recognised as the benchmark for all that is outstanding in terms of working environment. With employees anonymously answering wide-ranging surveys about their company, the results provide a vital insight into the inner-workings of many organisations across the country in an unbiased way.

Through CAP’s unique approach to debt counselling, many become Christians and its specialist service has received widespread praise from both secular and Christian circles for its quality. |
CAP was singled out for its exceptional leadership. An unbeaten 99% of employees voted Matt Barlow and John Kirkby as inspiring leaders and 94% felt that senior managers listen to them. In addition, 99% of employees believed that CAP operated on sound moral principles and also believe CAP makes a positive difference to the world.
'We are delighted to receive this award. We hope that it demonstrates both how dynamic and in touch Christian organisations can be and the example they can set for other organisations. Whilst this award is a prestigious accolade, we’re not going to get complacent. With 60 more debt counselling centres opening this year alone across the country, there’s plenty left to do to tackle the most pressing social problem affecting the UK today.' Matt Barlow, CAP UK Chief Executive |
