From banking to shelf stacking, every job has a crucial role in whatever business it is part of and people spend the majority of their life at work.

It is therefore unsurprising that British people are constantly looking at other options, including fresh starts in new jobs.

The networking social media platform LinkedIn has listed the top companies Brits want to work at most, based on their users' interest in the company, engagement with the company’s employees, job demand and employee retention.

From this, they have ranked the top UK companies where workers want to work most, with some surprising results.
